Tiny Straight Razor
I was doing some slumming in an antique store today and saw a straight razor that was about 1/3 the "usual" size. The blade must have been less than 2" long and maybe 3/8" wide. It was a Boker and only a few dollars. I would have bought it but it had a wicked frown, at least 1/16" deep in the center.
So, I'm wondering...
What were little razors like that used for? Touch up?

I've got one that I picked up on the bay.
There was nothing to indicate that is was not the 'usual' size until I picked it up.
It came in a box marked 'Ladies Razor'Hang on and enjoy the ride...

It may be a corn razor, for the removal of corns on one's feet.

These are rumored to have been left behind by Aliens from outer space. In their early attempts to colonize Earth, they encountered disposable cartridge razors and canned goo, couldn't take it and left. They have vowed to return in peace when everyone shaves with straight razors.

Sounds like a corn razor, they have a pointed tip and frowny blade.
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
