Yup, it's a surgical scalpel all right. I have used one many times in the course of my career but the thought of one anywhere near my throat makes me shudder. I see the seller is batteti..batty I would say.

My guess is the seller accidentally attached the wrong picture to the listing.

No; I sent him an email about this, lest some poor innocent try to shave with it; this was the reply:
Hi.
Thank you very much for this information. I stop the auction and I'm going to change the descritpion. I have this idea for scalpel but but when I see the inscription GILLETTE I think about razor... once again thank you ........ bests regards,
Batteti
Perfectly nice #4 scalpel handle. A bit large, most use a #3. I'm not sure about the blade #. Would definitley stick with a razor, though; contrary to popular belief, a scalpel isn't all that sharp (compared to a
DE blade, that is).
Having worked in the graphic arts side of the print trade for 27 years, I spent the first 10 years with one of those in my hand every day all day and they are plenty sharp.
I have seen more than once someone trim the end of their fingers off and stab/slash arms and legs, (not nice) and I still panic when a customer reaches for the scalple to trim up a job.
They are a great tool, the one I use is made by Swan & Morton and no I have never shaved with it.
