DeHaven Razor - Whiterook - 09-30-2021
Razor: DeHaven Model 3
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Simpson Commodore X2 Best Badger
Pre-Shave: Proraso White
Lather: Fine American Blend
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer
Additional Care:
Thayers Facial Tonic Witch Hazel Unscented
Imperial Leather Talcum Powder
These were apparently designed to reuse the one blade included with the razor again and again. Honing paste was applied to the blade and you shook the razor to hone one side of the edge at a time. There were several models, but mine is the model 3. I removed the original blade and inserted a half DE in its place. Some use an injector, but the jaws of the blade holder would need to be widened and I choose not to risk that.

With a little urging mine just slid out from the side.

Nothing like pouring salt in the wound
I'll need to brave another attempt with my last blade I believe.....
RE: DeHaven Razor - Whiterook - 09-30-2021
I have two model 3s and only one blade between them, so I am envious that you have more than one blade to begin with.
RE: DeHaven Razor - Dave in KY - 10-02-2021
1 out of 3 was successful. The 2 cracked blades I haven't given up on and will go at them with feeler gauges or whatever to try and get them usable. The new one in the wrapping is still untouched at least by me. Up for a shave tomorrow I think. Half a Shark Platinum blade installed. Thanks for the nudge to get back at this project.
RE: DeHaven Razor - Whiterook - 10-02-2021
I'm glad you were successful! And it's an open comb just in time for October.

If serious, pm me. I may let my extra 1 go with 1 of the blades you need to finish getting out of the spine.
