Razors

Location:
Another recent search of the Area 51 storage areas, led to the discovery of these strange devices. While they are both similar in size and shape, there are clear differences between them. Once the UFO Team discovered their true nature, the men on the team grabbed at their faces in wonder while the women shook their heads and covered their legs protectively.

Description:
Razor 1 has a hexagonal handle with a flat shaving head. The shaving head has a grill on one side. There is a greenish patina to the entire razor while some of the underlying brassy color shows on the shaving head. The razor appears to be designed for use with a single bladed razor or at least one blade appears to be exposed at a time. The handle has small notches cut into the edges to aid in grip while the end has smooth indentations for decoration.

Razor 2 has a round handle with a curved shaving head. The shaving head has a tooth-like grill on both sides. The razor is brass in color with a greenish patina that gradually grows toward the shaving head. The handle has a slightly knobby end and has a large area that is grooved for improved grip. The shaving head appears to be designed for a double edged blade that is flat. The curved end appears to be for design and ease of use, not to bend the blade. The shaving head end is also silver in color, likely from heavy use.

Both show signs of wear and use.

Unique Marks:
Neither piece had any distinctive markings.

History:
These razors have surely shaved countless hairs from the face of a man. Who owned them or used them is unknown at this time.
