This topic is probably not about use in 2026, but about memories and collections.
Once I saw a photo of a French 4-sided razor comb Quiz ( Quiz peigne rasoir de securite ) . Searching for information did not give answers as to who and when produced and sold it. I saved the photo and forgot about it.
And then I accidentally came across an ad for the sale of such a copy of this razor produced in the USSR (almost all razors produced in the USSR were copies of other razors). Now I have such an unusual exhibit in my collection.
The name of this razor ЗЧМ 194-У (this is clearly an abbreviation of the full name, but I'm still looking for information), if you try to translate into English, you can write it like ZCHM 194-U.
It looks like it is made of LDPE (high pressure polyethylene). It has four working sides marked with dots. Quite a strong design, you need to apply force to disassemble it. For work, you can install one or two blades at a time . Dimensions: height 70 mm (2,75 inch) ; width 50 mm ( 1.97 inch) ; thickness 0.8 mm. ( 0.039 inch) . Weight 17 g (0.6 oz) .
And today.
I didn't plan it that way, but I ended up with a full set of Comet "Safety Haircutter". It looks like it's never been used.
I also wouldn't mind adding a device like this to my collection. There's a video of someone not just getting a haircut, but also shaving their face with this device.
Do you have anything similar in your collections?
