Thread: Dwarf Razors

I posted a pic of mine.....just got it a few days ago. I don't know much about them but DO like the one I got. I didn't mind the price either.

I've done several cut down versions but can only get my hands on this one pic of a W&B in a single pin "taco" scale. As far as factory made ones I have another W&B which I've never seen before ( along with a W&B, rigid curved DE blade?) in the last photo next to it's big brother on steroids, and of course the typical Corn razors which I have two only one picture here.

Man that little W&B is awesome... want .

Wow, was just going to ask the same question about 'miniature' razors, I've got two myself, a Joseph Haywood and a Joseph Rodgers and sons, both blades lengths are a touch shorter than 2 1/2 inch. Why were these smaller blades made?? Here's a pic of the razors next to 'regular' sized ones...
The Joseph Haywood..
And the Rodgers...
(I made some custom olive wood scales for the Rodgers, the originals were shot...)

Always YMMV.

Great question. I don't know myself. I know what MLA would say - for small people - but I don't think that's it.

I think it was likely just a way to get people to buy more razors. There are plenty of ways to pitch a smaller razor. Travel size, fits better in the hand(wether it does or not) , your wife will love using it to shave her mustache.... You get the idea. I'd love to see some old advertisements on these dwarfs!
