Come on, people! Who's shaving with the SMALLEST razor?

(I can go smaller than this one if I use the pocket scalpel...)

I'm pretty sure my shaving technique is better for having a wide variety of styles at my disposal when I shave. Though I don't use the huge-o-tron blades much -- only the Marsden 'Magnum Bonum' blades are honed of the ones I've got.

Thanks, Zak!

I got this one off eBay. There were two of them up from the same seller. The other one looked like it'd been used to dissect something and left in a puddle of biological goop for weeks then put away crusted over.

For some reason, I didn't bid on that one.

I saw that and marveled how I had not seen another one and here were 2!
I started to message the seller and ask if he had a bigger one too, but refrained!

I went digging to see what others the company offered. Only their 1866 catalog is available online. There aren't any razors at all pictured (and I just skimmed, so there might be some described).

It's pretty much a catalog of metal things designed to go into holes in people. Mostly naturally occurring holes.

Zak, I can easily see this razor beimg a neat little shaver for sure!

Great write up as always. I think it's hard to reply to this thread with out pointing out the shear awesomeness of the OL Greaves you got there for comparison!

Thanks for sharing!

At a flea market I once saw a 1/8 spine with scales and an edge... I passed for $5.
