That is such a cool looking razor! What can you tell us about it? Some Google searching is leaving me empty-handed. Any idea what year(s) production occurred?

Patent is 1930. The inventor, Edward F. Temple appears to be affiliated with Thomas Stroppers which also utilized the patent for a Kamisori style razor. Waits has the Thomas razor but not this Temple safety razor.

Similar in design to the new Italian Focus R51.

I find no mention of the razor anywhere.

Excellent Shave! Wow! What a great razor!
I have listed for sale and the potential buyer backed out!
I am very happy now and thanks to the guy who backed out.,
Otherwise, I would have had lots of seller's remorse!!
