Open comb travel razor
I admit, it’s a toy – but I think these telescoping travel razors are the height of cool.
It comes in a metal box that would disappear into a shirt pocket. The handle is in two parts that nest in each other when you are doing the actual traveling but screw together.
It’s hard not to feel like you are back in the golden age of travel – got to look your best before getting onto the flying boat!
There’s no maker’s mark, but it looks German-made to me, but I’m no expert on these things but it looks suspiciously like a Hoffritz.
I don’t think it’s a Gillette, but it shaves like an Old Type single ring, although possibly not quite as smooth. (It might be less smooth because it’s a little lighter.)
