I just picked this razor up yesterday. I don't know much about them but I've never seen one this small. It's a Dimondine from Germany imported by Vom Cleff & Co. who were in NYC from 1885 to 1926.
I think it's unusual in that it's so small and also for the shape of the blade. Does anyone know about this kind of razor?

Did you ever see a one like this TJ? I wonder why they made one so small? For little kids with heavy beards?

It`s a Corn razor ,(for removing corns on your feet), that has had the blade re-shaped

Thanks Dmitri.
"And you know what they say about corn razors/knifes and guitar players."
Is that corn razors or corn whiskey TJ?

Oh, well, I guess it could be either one, but I'd rather have the razor/knife. I know a lot of very fine musicians, a couple that were with Ralph Stanley for a long time, but a few hits on the shine removes every bit of talent they ever had. That's some hot stuff.

Corn Razor is correct! Been collecting them for about 25 years, and used to have one like this! If you decide to get rid of it, give me a shout!
