So I found this oddball a little while ago, it’s made by Gottlieb Hammesfahr, which best I can tell was actually a straight razor manufacturer from solingen, Germany. I have been unable to find out much of anything about it, my guess is, it probably dates in the 1930’s somewhere. I’m not sure if it was a proprietary blade, however a half de fits it perfectly. This would be the most unique and unusual razor in my collection, I thought it appropriate to share 🧐 Attachments:

Awesome!! thank you for sharing, How does it shave??? It shaves Very much like and old type unmentionable.. the thin blade edge is not to my liking. I couldn’t pass it up though as I’ve never seen anything like it.
