Curious, is there a handle or rod? It looks like there are grooves inside the holes on the "legs" or "hand-hold". But given it is for travel, truly a pocket razor as it folds so flat, I am betting you use your thumb and a finger, holding sort of pinched, but with finger and thumb spaced much farther apart than a typical "pinch." Very cool, nonetheless! Another exhibit that works in the Museum!

Your bet is correct Eric, thanks

Hey Dave, two things:

Thing #1:   I don't know who is old enough to remember the "Let Mikey try it" commercials, Star Trek's "Boldly go where no man has gone before", or "When Harry Met Sally", but here's the thing:  If there was a "Let Mikey try it" award for razors, you would surely be a shoo-in, and you would also be a shoo-in for the razor version of the <please choose one> (1) "Boldly go where no man has gone" and (2) "I'll smoke whatever he's smoking" award.

Thing #2:  The mustache is killer.  Way to go Dave!

I agree that Dave should win awards for his commitment to vintage and obscure razors, however, Dave, can you do this?
