Give that man a Cigar


You have a "Frameback" that the flat blade sits in

You have a "Replaceable blade Frameback" with the little screw at the front that releases the blade

You have a "Faux-Framback" where the Blade and tang/tail are one flat piece and a "Back" is pressed on the thin spine

You have "Rattler" grinds like pictured here,
HOWEVER later on after the turn of the century 1907ish the Name "Rattler" was used on many different Hollow grind razors so it loses the meaning of a "Rattler Grind"


It took me quite a few years to figure it all out
