The 'Parade' model was made for a decade from 1933 to 1943. This specific model has the normal sized bakelite handle, a razor head in fantastic condition and the original box with some wear on it. We included 5 original Gem blades that reads 'For US armed forces', we figured they would team up pretty well 'on parade'
There are many things that makes these razors unique and a must have for any discerning shaver, one of them being the interesting shaving position of the head. The head must be placed near-flat to your face and is actually quite user-friendly. despite its bad-ass axe-like appearance! This razor has an open comb guard, but unlike today's open comb razors they bend over and the teeth are joined into a solid bar, unlikely to make contact with your skin, and mostly manufactured this way to provide sturdy structure for the razor's comb.
The razor loads easily by opening the spring loaded cap and then inserting the blade onto the tabs at the edges of the safety bar, flip it closed and let her rip!
The razor weighs in at 32 grams and measures around 92 mm tall.
This is such a cool find, we hope the new owner thinks so also!
