Paperback or ePub e-book.

http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/razors

A book to help identify those strange razors. Before Gillette traces the history of razor guards, guard razors, and safety razors prior to Gillette’s first 1902 British patent. Here are the stories of over six score patents and inventors starting with the ideas of a French cutler in 1762, a British engineer in 1847, and the Kampfe Brothers in Manhattan (who coined the term “safety razor”). The book traces the complex origins of the American Safety Razor Company (Ever-Ready, Gem, et al.). Included also are the rarities: Dr. Scott’s “Electric” razor, the Torrey Toboggan, the Fox, and the razors of the Reichard and Scheuber Mfg. Co., and many more.
Thanks!

I bought one of these books a while back. It's a great resource, and a window into the history of these razors.
