Ex Prison Razors

Olaf Rasmussen's also produced a version of their surgical prep razor with a 'key' for institutional use in the States. Their standard razor is a great shaver (medium aggressive) and the head on their 'key' version is similar.

I am a retired corrections officer and I have handled psycho razors when working at a super-max prison facility back in the 80's. All the other facilities used carts, which the inmates would dismantle, melt a toothbrush and line one side with cart blades. I once saw a man slice another mans back up so badly that his ribs were showing and he needed over 200 stitches - not a pretty sight. Whenever I cut myself with one of my straights, I always think - "Well, it's not as bad as that guys back was, anyway!"

TBH I was quite tempted myself, the ones without keys would probably sell for the right price and I'm sure you could make your money back if you kept one or two and the key and sold the rest.

With that said, I'm, trying to avoid buying to collect and I already have three Techs.
Assuming it’s a collectors thing, as without the key you can’t use the razor anyway?

Well, as I said a nut driver would work it's just a hex nut inside the handle, but then you're losing some of the collectability without the key.
