    It's a ladies underarm shaver.
    Most take DE blades.
    When I get home I'll try to look up make and model.

    All I can add is the razor I believe was called a curvfit.

    It looks to be a "Curv-Rite" pat.1937.
    If it takes standard DE blades.

    The Curvfit takes proprietary blades.
    And looks alot different.

    Agreed. Curvfit was single edge.

    I seem to recall that there was a similar razor named "Cutie" or something close to that.

    Correct. I was just testing to see if you were paying attention.

    Doing a little research they look to have been sold primarily in Canada between 1935 and 1940. They were also sold in the US but looks like only in 1937 and 1938.

    Yes correct!
    There was a black handled one sold 1935. The colored ones came out around 1937 as far as I can surmise from the info I have at this time.
