Nice find Walid, that is a very cool razor.
Question: when 7 days in the week, what's with the 14? Is the blade reversible?

That's the only way we can get to the number 14. But when you look at the blade. the days show up only on one side. @Clouds thinks so too.
I was on a video call with David grant two days ago and forgot to ask him.

Waits claims:

Head holds seven standard double-edge blades that can be rotated into place. One edge at a time is exposed for fourteen possible edges

That's obviously wrong. I should add that to my Waits errata list.
So 7 edge sides times two sides.

Wow, it helps to have the real thing in front of you. I think he wrote the description before "JK" sent him the pics. Then he forgot to modify the content.
I am glad this drew you in .

Is that the 14-in-1 razor with a low starting price I was recently watching on eBay, briefly hoping it would slip under the radar like in the (g)olden days?

That's the one. Sorry Andreas. It's a British razor made in England. Time to get moving in your flea markets. If this guy found it there so can you.

The most exciting thing I ever saw over here was a bucket full of rusty keys.
There is another one a 5-minute walk away tomorrow morning.
I'll go and do some 3D printing at the local makerspace instead.
