Schrodinger's cat applies to unobserved variables, so that doesn't really work here. But now we are WAY off topic, so back to the razor.
I thought it was a church re-fitted with a windmill.

I think it is the product of some artist letting his imagination run away with him. It is obviously intended as a coastal windmill - plenty of those about. The base of the mill has some sort of oriental influence and what is clearly the sea in front of it has what looks like boats and oars as has been said by someone already. The stuff at the bottom and up the side looks like an attempt at an oriental-style foaming surf.
Although there are windmills that are used as churches (at least three in the UK and I know of one on the continent) not a single one of them has a cross on the top, so I reckon that is some fanciful notion too.
That is a poor excuse for a shrubbery - it appeases me not! What it needs is another shrubbery placed beside it, only slightly higher, so we get a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle....
Damn you HNSBC! You lured me into a Monty Python trap!

This thread is a mindmill:w
To the beginning of the thread.
There were three pattern of windmill razor handles.
Most are molded of ivory colored celluloid, sometimes with grain lines similar to real ivory.
Such handles were popular around the turn of the 20th century. The 1902 Witte Hardware Co. catalog shows an assortment of fancy celluloid styles. Two windmill patterns are included, both the rowboat style in ivory color and sailboat style in black celluloid.
The most rare and difficult to find is the middle razor with W.H.Morley and Sons blade.

Another razor of this style is marked on the shank "55S Sheffield Steel E, Made in Germany." The reverse side reads, "The Admirals".
No.
It's not an Eastern Orthodox Christian chapel. Orthodox Christian cross is different.
Believe me.:)
