    It is a Microtome razor.
    One side has a shoulder and the other not so much. It does look like a near wedge but one side is flatter than the other on close inspection .

    The pitting looks really bad in the pictures but it is actually not deep at all.

    Do these things hold any value ? (not really from what I can tell) I acquired all three blades for £10.

    Am I wrong? Is it a tool for removing layers of flesh in the guise of a straight razor?

    I was under the impression that the difference between straights and scalpels is that a straight could distinguish hair from skin.

    It would be nice to them all cleaned up but I have more vintage razors than you could shake a stick at

    Nice finds, I like seeing them fresh from the antiques market. They can usually be found cheap so anything that might possibly have potential - I'm in.
