I was recently given this by a family member as a gift, it has never been used, it is a 3 piece DE razor. I have trawled the internet for "clear razor" or "see-through razor" but can't find anything. Any ideas? Cheers Grant
I can only imagine it to be a prototype of some sort, I have no idea, but there's no telling. Very cool find!
I have never seen one like that before, but I agree with everyone else, it's a very cool razor. I would imagine it would be pretty light though.
they picked it up at a jumble sale/bric a brac sale it was in a set with a clear comb and nothing else they know i like razor so gave it to me >
I don't think so i have a problem distinguishing the difference between that and plastic, can you help with telling me . ps. it's only 11g
Looking at Yahoo Images, under "plastic double edge razors" yours looks alot like what they are showing for surgical prep razors. All of that style I have found so far are plastic, and appear to be 3 piece razors.
The case it came in had lots of spaces like a travel set , which searce engine are you using I couldn't bring up anything ? sorry just seen you use yahoo
IF it came with a travel kit I guess that knocks out my idea... hmmmm Jody!!! Where are you when we need you? lol
most of the sergical razors seem to take smaller blades like nymph ones so i'm still no closer to who made it lol
I may actually have an answer for you. I searched on the word "transparent" in Waits Compendium and came up with two razors very much like this. I think yours may be a Kama. Waits says "Kama, Solingen Germany, Gillette style, smooth bar guard, all parts except cap screw are transparent plastic, German patent no. reg 1427272." He shows photos, one in a case, one outside of it. Looks quite a lot like yours, but the photos are copy protected within the PDF, and I don't want to cheat the copy protection with a screen shot. When I Google "Kama Razor", all I come up with is straights, so maybe the safety razor was just a sideline for them. No information on when it was made. He also lists another all transparent plastic German razor, the Fasan, but it has a slant head.
