Yes it is, it reminds me of a quick disconnect from the front wheel of a bicycle. Apparently his invention did not take on very well since nobody replied yet with "I was wondering what that was".

Got a point there Martin I have seen quite a few razors and I haven't ever seen one :shrug: Maybe Lynn has

I asked Lynn via pm and no never saw them either, looking at his advertisement again and did a little search his razors we not to popular either!
