Razor Patent 228904 was issued in June of 1880 to the Kampfe Brothers. This quite possibly is the first registered use of the word 'Safety' when applied to a razor appliance. Here is a wonderful example of The Original Safetyphoto from ebay Feel free to include any additional thoughts or comments on inaccuracies - thnx!!! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!

Fantastic! I won't get into a bidding war.
My user collection only goes back to 1900 so far, and spine backed. I insist on that.

Thought I had added this bit - 'photo from ebay'! Tis not my very fine razor. Just thought that pretty much as 'the original safety' razor we needed a pic somewhere. Can't say if it is for sale sorry! SD - darn! I was just about to send you a lovely 1870's Star I had laying around the house! No spine blades though. Sighhh.

ROTFLMAO!
Yeah, that's what I need another razor that I can't put an edge on and can't shave with! They sure are nice to look at though.
I have a buddy who thinks they're ugly. Claims I get all defensive when he tells me that. :-)
