Young Any Angle

[efsk]

Interesting antique contraption, this Young "Any Angle". Handle has a flat part with three knobs, that falls in the receiving end of the head that has twelve holes. You can so change the angle of the head making it a regular razor or more and more slanted. Kind of a predecessor of the IRO.

The patent drawings show 16 instead of 12 holes in the clamping plate and 2 instead of 3 projections on the handle, but the text refers to both numbers as "a plurality"

Interesting razor. Definitely has an IRO look to it. I guess trying to remember how to set the angles will always keep your mind young.
