What type of Shumate is this?

I have never saw a razor like this before? Seen this on ebay. How does it work? And is that some sort of guard over the blade? Hmmm :roll:

That's what a gentleman uses to trim his pubes. :?

Or not, I don't know. Heh.

It's kinda like a safety razor. That guard flips from one side to the other and provides that buffer between the skin and the edge of the razor to keep from cutting yourself... as often. Many times the owners of these razors were old school, got tired of the gadget and threw the guard away. Finding one that still has it is becoming a rarity.
