I had never seen the Feather self stropping razors before. I knew they existed and that is why they still make the blades we can buy today. I came across these on ebay in Japan. The prices are outrageous! Everything in this sellers shop is very expensive, maybe it's a Japan thing, but it's interesting to see the pictures.
And another one
Clearly Autostrop copies but if the 1950s date is right Valet Autostrop had already ceased production in 1946

Thanks for posting, I've seen that shop. Auto Strop copies by Feather and cool pieces but definitely overpriced. Some other companies had copies as well as I almost bought one but decided to stick with the originals. Those are pretty !

Interesting, I didn't know other companies had made copies too.

I'll try and find a pic of it when was for sale.

The handles on the feather look pretty nice.

Thanks for posting that. I had never heard of the Prince. I'm guessing that's an American copy made after the patent expired?

I have a Feather Injector inbound. I'll post pix when it arrives next week. These things are crazy expensive but I found one that was at a more reasonable price from a private party.
