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?
