    I wonder if it is a handle you just bought for a Gillette to make it a slant razor that King Gillette refused to consider MFG thinking it was a gimmick. That is a interesting piece of history.

    Sure, That's what I'm doing. It will be known as the great Hoax in wet shaving of 2022 :rolleyes: 1st pic mine showing the head. Info below and 2nd pic pulled from the web.

    Spanish made razor. The IRO is a razor coming from Spanish Basque. It is often confused with Eibar, yet Eibar is the Basque city this razor is coming from. Head and handle have a Logo stating "Original" with an arrow through it, IRO, and the handle also has "Systema Oblicuo" which means slanted system which is about right.
    The razors head is an ordinary, OC head, that can fit on all M5 handles to use as an ordinary head. The interesting thing about this razor is the handle. It is bent near the end, where it ends in a plate with two holes. One fits over a guiding post, one over the center screw, and a special "nut" is then used to fix the razor. In essence, most other razor heads can be used on this handle. See pics for illustration of how it works.
    The Systema Oblicuo was patented 1935-12-16, Spanish patent ES4292.

    Good Video Dave, Glad you wore your yellow work shirt for caution with that razor. Good entertainment to watch and blood free shave to boot!

    Nice video Dave. Nicely done and very informative as usual, plus the soap drop added some excitement too. :D

    I may take you up on it later. I have several razors new to the den that I have not tried out and a few more on the way in.

    I have a Lady Gillette on the way in. Hopefully it will clean up nice. It came with Old Type. Hey....I'm a sucker for a deal and I figure it would be a great razor to shave my legs with. :happy102:
