The Everite Straight Safety Razor

[Deleted]

I picked this interesting item up the other day, and I figured this would be a great place to share.

This little razor can be used as both a straight or S/E, patent was filed in 1950 and granted in 1952.



It includes a small hone and strop, with a groove in the side of the case to help in honing/stropping.







In safety razor mode.

I'm no honemeister but I think so, its actually pretty close now, as I can tell by the bald spot on my arm.

That is a wonderful find!! Really great product.

It is surprising to me that they were making such an item as late as the 1950's. There must have been a die hard group of early style shaving humans that were resistant to the double edge blades. Maybe they were the early version of us single edge razor geeks!

Nice. ;D There are so many interesting variations of the S/E razor out there.

Nope, not as shave ready as I had hoped, wasn't able to go very far with it.

It pulled and tugged no matter what the angle, I even tried it like a straight razor with the same result.

Maybe I will send the blade out to a friend of mine that does honing and have him put an edge on it.
