If you don't mind me asking, what is the razor head? It's looks like a cross between an open comb and straight bar

The Famex razor is a 1928 French patent, it's unique in that unlike the superficially similar Le Coq it's a fully caged head which when the the handle is turned compresses/decompresses the cage to modify gap and exposure. It was branded under a couple different names in France in the 30s. Tom White made this singular copy of the original just because he could, lucky me :-) I use the Karve handle on Tom's machined brass head. [Image: 6b031acb5910cf5886aa770440f33039.jpg]

That is really cool...Thank you! I really like the patent presentation. I may have to try and find a Famex on Ebay Smile
