Clauss single edge safety razor

Just got this off ebay. Pretty simple design, you flip up the paper clip looking part to relieve the pressure exerted on the base of the comb/guard piece, then slide off the branded top part.
The listing came with the 38 blades pictured below. I'm hoping I can clean and sharpen at least some of them for use. The blades are not as thin as a modern DE blade, but thinner than I thought an Autostrop or Wilkinson type blades would be. Anyone seen one of these before?

Looks like the ancient predecessor to the Mongoose.

Nope, really cool find though.!
Thanks for sharing.

What a great find. I hope you can salvage many of those blades.

That's interesting for sure cool grab.

Very cool! I'd love to try one of those some day.:rock:

This is the original box it came in
