I was amused to find that these are medical razors, used for shaving patients in hospitals!

I'm not sure if that was mentioned anywhere in this thread yet, it doesn't bother me in the slightest though.
I wonder if these were weilded by a caring SRP type who honed them lovingly every night in the hospital workshop - or by some crazed medical orderly who scoops one up out of a pool of blood on the floor and goes to work on you without even lathering up or stropping.

bit of paper? I didn't get one. The box say 'surgical razor'.'Brzytwa' is razor and 'chirurgiczna' is surgical.
This is an interesting pronuncuation : hir-ur-gheech-na
what does it say on the piece of paper? I might be able to persuade my girlfriend to translate it(that is until she realises it is about razors!!)

Not that unusual. When they're prepping a patient for surgery (or just stitches) they need to trim away body hair to make their work easier and cleaner. Last time I had surgery, they used a modern 3- or 4-blade razor to shave the surrounding area.

Last time I had surgery they took one look at me and told me I would have to shave myself. I had to shave from neck line to waist. They threw me a battery operated hair trimmer. The thing ran out of battery power half way threw the shave and also got uncomfortably hot against my skin. Now I'm the hairiest guy I know and have ever met if that paints a better mind picture of what I look like.
All except on my head where I wish it was

If that weren't a horrible enough image, now I'm forced to imagine what you gave birth to!

Does anyone have translated the polsky instruction paper inside the razor box?
Francesco

I will try to get a translation if somebody can type me what it says. There was no paper in any of the razors I bought.

I did a scan of the paper, you can find the PDF file attached

Surgical razor. Interesting. That would explain the steel scales. Probably more durable after being autoclaved a gazillion times. J.
