Any Ideas?

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

 

It's a Stealth Razor!

Just kidding. I have no idea. It is pretty cool, though.

 

Haven't seen one like that. Pretty cool!

 

haha a Ninja Razor?

But ya that is neat. Have you shaved with it?

 

Jody is the one who needs to see this, he'll have the answer you seek. As for me I have no idea.

 

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.

 

Hey, wasn't that designed by the same folks who made Wonder Woman's plane?

 

Did your family member say where they had found it? In a shop/antique store/in a drawer some place?

 

Ha! Good one Steve!

That is a very interesting razor. Do you think it is Lucite?

 

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

 

Na haven't used it because it's in such good condition

 

IF it came with a travel kit I guess that knocks out my idea... hmmmm Jody!!! Where are you when we need you? lol

 

Figure out what it's made of and I bet it'll polish up like crystal.

 

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.

 

Now that is one good looking razor!
