Hello from Wet Welsh Wales

I am interested in straight razors and safety although yet to shave with either. After looking into more info I remembered I had this. It belonged to my father. It's kind of a combo straight/safety.

I have been told elsewhere that there is a seven blade version known as the "seven day razor" allowing a weeks shave without stopping etc. Mine has only three. I think the handle is for stopping but I am sure someone here will hopefully know for sure.

Thanks

Anyhow, thought you may like to see:
