    This is probably one of the few times where an ebay seller who described their razor as "rare" is actually true.

    Would be interested in trying it, if I had the funds.

    Odd looking thing
    I wonder about balance on it though, it would probably make the Wapi feel like perfection in comparison..

    Especially since there's no tail to hold onto.

    Yeah
    Then again, it sort of has the longest tail ever attached to it..
    Rather dangerous, but there it is

    I've seen the double handle two-side blade type before but never these. Cool stuff on that link.

    The papillons come up quite regularly internationally if you keep your eyes open.
    The easy road is rarely rewarding.

    I wonder if you may cut yourself while holding one in the scales?
