A 1810 razor with all the bells and whistles ?
Grab your seat, because if I am not mistaken, what I am about to show you might be the oldest safety razor with removable blade ever documented
What I know for sure is that there are very few framebacks that old, even fewer with a blade mechanism. The earliest example I knew until now was a circa 1820, as M Charles patented the invention in 1819.
But that seems to be older.
that
Now I'm going on a limb, but I'm quite sur I know why the slit in the nose is for
Perret's "rabot" (woodworker's plane) is the name of this safety mechanism, invented circa 1790 and which was apparently extremely popular in the late 1700s.
Nobody has ever found the ebony or tortoise attachment so far though...
I don't think I am hugely mistaken, but dare not hope that I am that right.Last edited by Aggelos; 05-29-2024 at 06:15 AM.
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.
