A razor for either Siamese twins or a split personality.
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.Quote:

Rather dangerous, but there it is;)
Yes its a butterfly razor actually its Papillion french for buterfly.
check out this link awsome stuff!! Papillon
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.
^^ Are these papillion razors more for collectors than regular guys?
I have seen this (these) razors somewhere before but I can't put my finger on it. I'm pretty sure this one or a similar model was featured on the bay a few years ago.
One person stated that they were for seafarers, another suggests that the figures are in hunting costume. A consensus suggests that they were to be used on another person not one's self. Perfect for a man on a trip with his servant.

Mark has one of these aka MyCarver in ivory. He may have some information on them.
I wonder if you may cut yourself while holding one in the scales?
