Vintage Durham Duplex Hair Trimmer Razor

Title: Vintage Durham Duplex Hair Trimmer Razor.
Manufactured in Sheffield England Circa 1950's.
Info: Durham Razor Company Inc was founded in New York, USA in 1875 with a manufacturing facility set up in Jersey City to make the revolutionary Durham-Duplex safety razor system, which is where the Companys unusual name comes from.
The innovative Durham slotted blade, named after the inventors, was considered to be a major technological advance in comparison to the traditional cut throat razor as the double edged Duplex steel razor blade could be re-sharpened on the strop almost indefinitely until being replaced without needing a new handle offering both a considerable saving and a safe way to shave. It was a popular shaving system and used widely through the late 19th to mid 20th Century.
Durham-Duplex Razor Blade Company Ltd was registered in Sheffield, the Steel City, on 11th May 1910 as the European manufacturing plant to feed UK and French demand for the razors.
