Double - bladed Straight??
What do you guys think of this?
Any comments on the starting price?

how in the hell would you use it? I can see one being in the scales, but what about when you are storing it? Can both be placed in it at the same time ?

It looks like both can be simultaneously enclosed in the scales from one of the photos. Maybe there's a third scale in the middle

Why would something like this have been manufactured in the first place? Maybe it's a "tourist" piece - not meant to be used, but just a memento of a trip to London

not only off balanced but no tail for the ring finger... i hope it was just meant for display.
as for the price... i think it will be back around with a more reasonable opening bid in a few days.Be just and fear not.

Clearly a razor that does right and left side of face in one go. Also doesn't discriminate between lefties and righties. Ideal razor!

I've had a dream for a while now. In my dream, straight razors, nose-hair trimmers, nail files and tweezers happily coexist in the one unit. For a while that dream was lost. But seeing this double-bladed straight had rekindled the fire.
I believe it *is* possible to contruct a "swiss army" straight! It will take guts and determination (and clever use of counterbalance and some nifty scales), but I'm sure it's possible! I'm off to see Papabull....
