New barber, old razor

Want to a different barber from the usual today. Got chatting, as you do, and he showed me this old safety razor which had been handed down to him. It was one of the first models produced, from the late 1800's. Made by Kampfe of New York. He still had the original tin, with the price of $2 printed on it. He also had the original wedge shaped blade that clips into it. Fascinating as it was, I opted for a modern disposable blade for my trim.
