A brilliant little shaver. Unfortunately, mine isn't gold.
Some images on how it works are here:
The trick is to lock your wrist and use your lower arm as a giant handle.
For shaving under the nose tilt razor slightly between thumb and index finger, then lock wrist again.
There is another patent for a single edge, adjustable version. Unfortunately, it was never made:

Here is how it works:
View from the top with the little grip handles folded in. Note the star-shaped holes - they give more grip than round ones or handles without holes would.
The handles fold out:
View from the bottom. You open the razor by lifting the base plate where it says Open here:
Then you put a blade in ...
close the base plate and fold out the handles fully. Pick up the razor with thumb and index finger and you're ready to go.
Mine was neither, bad lighting.

I don't think they were sold at all.Very ingenious design, however I can see why they sold more short handle Techs and four piece Merkurs in the old days.
They were given away as advertisers.
