I came across this in an antique shop the other day. I've never seen anything like it and was wondering if anyone else had. It would appear to be a hybrid of a straight and an open-comb DE:

I especially like the original retail price of $1!

It's a shaper, often made by Fromm, and used for the razor cut by hairdressers that was in fashion in the late sixties and early seventies.
