Have purchased this razor made in St Louis. Looks to have been made in 1950's. I takes a special blade but I was able to use a Gem SS in it. A very mild razor, I have no method of posting photos, sorry. Does anyone know anything about this razor. Waits comp. shows a long handle and a short handle, mine is short two piece razor. A very simple design as the cap and comb unit slides over the handle unit holding the blade in position. It is extremely light weight and shaves DFS without effort.

Looks like it would be fun to shave with.

These don't seem to come around often. They are quite similar to the Enders and Christy products except for the larger blade. Pretty much the same time frame of either end of the First World War, similar packaging, pencil style handle. I am glad to hear of your success with a GEM blade. Looks like it would be quite light/gentle to hold?
