This is a USR United Safety Razor. With a telescoping handle. It was stuck when I got it. After several ultrasonic cleanings and a few Scrubbing bubbles. It freed up. It also came with 5 of the original USR blades And 7 Damaskeene DeLuxe blades all in their wrappers. I will be testing this out tomorrow.
Great. Love the handle.
The head was patented in 1910. Same as "Shrp-Shavr"
