If anyone has such a razor, it would be interesting to chat.
In the meantime, I will tell my story.
I like unusual and vintage razors, and if they match and I am lucky, then I may have an update. That's what happened this time, browsing vintage razors on Ebay, I came across this razor, the price was so sweet ($6) that I couldn't resist.
I managed to become the owner of a complete set in very good condition: razor; case; instructions and a pack of blades (two blades in a pack. The pack is intact, only the film is torn).
In general, there is very little information about this razor and it consists of 3 facts: manufacturer Nelpin Mfg. Co., Inc (USA); years of production - from the late 50s to the early 60s; it was positioned as a women's. That's all, this historical excursion ends.
Constructively, it is a monoblock, where the blade is attached to the bottom plate, which is then locked into a V-shaped “lid”, secured with an elastic lock. The lock is opened with a slider on the side of the lid. The quality of the fit is at a very high level and the locking occurs with a clear click. The razor cover is a mirror in which the reflection is really visible, and on the lid there is a reflector (this is such a design vision).
Parameters: Weight 60g. LxWxH (in the most protruding parts) - 44x29x22 mm. . The body has a certain taper.
The razor is designed for standard DE blades.
Can you shave your face with this? I haven’t tried it yet, everything is ahead, but there is a video where it shaves quite successfully.
