What’s the deal with these?
I’ve used a few cheap disposable straights, or the ones with disposable blades, are these much different to the ones you just snap a DE in half and pop it in?

I hone my own. My edges are not on par with pro edges I’ve used but I’m often a few weeks between shaves and I like it a little forgiving on the flesh. I’m not too fussed about billiard ball smooth
I only ever sent one razor out for sharpening, it was for some comedy level sharp from someone using Ken Schwartz sub-micron sprays. Glad I tried it, not for me.
In the first few years I bought maybe ten or more cheap vintage razors from people who seemed to know what they were doing, was a nice way to try different blades and edges.

hmmmm, perhaps Frank is one step ahead of us and has equipped the razor with a fairly blunt blade :)

That sounds horrible.
*“In drawing the razor over the face sufficient pressure is applied so that the roller 6 will transmit through the gearing described tothe crank-disk 161 a rotary motion, and as thesedisks rotate they will give to 'e ade 7 a reciprocating motion, longitudniahy as well as transversely, and in the forward .transverse movement the edge of the blade will travel obliquely against` the hair to be out and obviously will cut ,it more readily than when moved straight against it, as in the ordinary safety-razor.” *
So you just push the blade into your face to activate the left to right motion?
