Razors that use proprietary (special) blades

Feel free to add any razors you know of that use special blades.

Wardonia (most Wardonia razors only take Wardonia blades)
King Oscillator (can be used w/ a regular blade but no oscillating)
Durham Duplex
Segal
Ronson
Enders
Valet (Feather makes modern Valet blades)

 

Rolls Razor

 

Christy.
Burham 1909 SE (although regular SE blades kind of fit)
Dime razor. Not sure if a regular SE can be made to fit or not, but the original blades are a bit different.
Band razors such as the Gillette Techmatic and Schick Auto-Band.
All sorts of cartridges, but I take it that we're not really talking about that.

And a special situation. Gem Micromatics take regular SE blades, of course, but at one time Gem made special double-edged blades that would fit only the Micromatics. Only one edge was exposed at a time. When it went dull, you opened the razor, and turned the blade around.

 

The Curve fit
Techmatic

 

Cool.

It sucks buying razors and not knowing it takes special blades. Then you look around and they tend to be very expensive.

 

The Cobra Classic uses Feather Artist Club or Kai Captain Blades

 

1950s Playtex hair trimmer. Picture a Durham-Duplex straight style razor that's also adjustable. I've considered trying to shave with it...they came with pretty sharp stainless blades so it might could be done.

 

Apollo french razor. Uses curved blades.
Fémirêve french razor. Uses concave/convex edge blades.
Keen Kutter.

 

4S, an earlier Weck type razor.

 

Gibbs. A French made adjustable razor.

 

Fortunately standard blades can easily be adapted to the beloved adjustable Gibbs with that

 

I forget the name right now, but there was a women's armpit razor that looks like a small umbrella and took circular blades.

 

The Crosscut.

 

Rhodes

Thanks!

 

There are some in this thread: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/safety-razors-i-wish-could-still-be-used-more-easily.42377/

 

BTW, Keen Kutters and Christys can be loaded with Injector blades !

 

French open comb SE named "Le Barbu"

 

If you despine a modern Gem blade they fit the Burham just fine and week give you a great shave.
