Ryley Resilient Razor

According to Waits, this was made by Razor Products Corporation, Cleveland, OH.
It is a 2-Piece and has a spring loaded, pivoting head (ball joint) that is supposed to follow the contours of your face. The tenstion on the spring is adjusted by screwing the bottom section of the handle in or out. If it's tightened fully it acts as a normal handle.
The TopCap is angular and has the patent numbers on it.

It came in a bakelite case with space for two blade banks - no blade banks came with this unfortunately.

The patents are on the handle and although the patents don't say this, I believe that it was also intended to be gap adjustable because there are what feels like little indents between the handle and the base plate.
Using current blades it runs out of tension at about a third of a turn.

The top one (Number US1933186) was granted to Alfred G. Ryley on Oct. 31, 1933 resembles the handle the most.
