It does make me wonder if some of these were not made specifically for little people.
I always thought the tiny ones like this were corn razors, though. I have a couple of tiny razors and wont shave with them because of that!

Just a thought that popped into my head. Could they have been made for women? It would be easier to get into an armpit with a shorter blade and definitely easier to shave the knee area.

Didn't read through all the replies but those are traveller's razors aren't they? I've never had one in my hand and can't really compare from a picture well but I think travellers were supposed to be about 2/3 scale. Over 1/2 but less than 3/4 size
