Collapsible travel razor
Open comb travel razor – possibly German, and perhaps a good 50 years old.
Although it does shave well, I bought it as a toy. Frankly I love the way you can pull the metal case from a shirt or jacket pocket, pull apart the nestling two-part handle and flip the parts over so they screw in together, and you are good to go!
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.)
You could use this every day, unlike the plastic junk sold today as travel razors. Hmm. . . I was born in the wrong era, wasn’t I?
