He probably have a huge *****
Take a look at this one:

It's by far the smallest straight razor I've ever seen! It's probably more cute than handy but still, looks like a cool smile-maker addition to any collection
I also think that it's not that hard to make, all you need is a piece from a dead razor that can be used for the metal (lots and lots of grinding?) and a natural material scraps for the scales (bone or ivory would be my first choice), a very thin pin for the pinning work and that's pretty much it, don't you think?Last edited by OrSh; 06-01-2013 at 12:15 PM.

Mini knives were a very popular item back when, and highly valued by collectors today (if you can prove the maker) I cant imagine there were not a few cutlers who made mini razors, and would love to add one to my collection some day! A tiny Greaves would be outstanding!

I know that back in the 1800's, apprentice cabinet makers etc would make small versions of furniture as a test of their skills. These are quite highly sought after now by collectors. I'm not sure about that razor though, it looks a little too small to be one of those.

Well on a leather boot lace of course. That razor is perfect for wet shaving your sinus cavity!

Perhaps it is a corn razor.

corn razors like that were quite popular at one time and are still sold today in a different format.Last edited by lz6; 06-13-2013 at 12:16 AM.
