Thread: Interesting John Clarke & son's compact pocket razor

A frameback style blade, without a handle or scales, shielded and protected in this metal sleeve, looks like the tang is straight and assuming you would use it as is!

Pocket razor, for those times you just happen to have your cream and brush in your other pocket, and notice some stubble.
Sorry, couldn't help it. It's actually a very interesting bit of equipment.
The first one I'm glad I DON'T own. I'd probably have a raw face if I kept a straight in my pocket, shaving every time I felt ANY stubble, and I never remember to keep the brush and cream in my pocket so the constant dry shaves would probably kill me.

An unusual razor indeed!

To use it, the smaller blade was pulled out of the larger cover, turned at a right angle to it, and the cover used as a handle.

Very interesting piece of history.

Just when you think you have seen them all. Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Here is how it looks when ready for action:
