Thread: Rare type of razor

Hello!

I am looking the type of razor that appears in the photo. As you can see, the blade sticks out from the metal, what I find very useful to have more precision when you shave your sideboards.



If you know where I can find it online or if there are other better models for this purpose, please let me know it.

Many thanks for your help!

That's what we call a Safety Razor.
You might want to look around at www.badgerandblade.com for starters...
This is more of a Straight Razor crowd.
They are easy to find and entry level used razors and new blades are inexpensive.

Good luck....

There is a whole sections on this forums that is especially for safety razors.
Shaving with Safety Razors

I think that is a frankenrazor,cobbled together,Would not be easy to use IMO

Thank you for your answers.

I know it is a safety razor but what I am interested in is that the blade sticks out from the metal part, and that is not easy to find...

Anyway, I will write the post in the correct section.

Thank you!

Hi

Probably someone removed the bars that would have made that a safety razor.

You too can grind off the safety bars and turn a safety razor into a torture device like your example.

I have not used one...but does the Cobra (that uses the Feather style blade) have a leading edge/no Saftey bar profile?

Nor have I, but I am almost certain that it does...and I am pretty sure it leads a bit further than the one in the OP. An untrained user should be able to do *almost* as much damage with a cobra as with a straight!

There is a lower bar on the cobra, but I am told it is well clear of the blade and it does not contact the skin during the shave....I could have received bad info. I actually thought the idea was a neat bridge between DEs and SRs.

This just makes me want to try one.....

that thing is no "saftey razor"..... it looks as though there's no guard on the bottom. that thing looks like it will dice a face to pieces when using a de stroke. stick to a straight, thank us for telling you later. :-p
