This twin blade safety razor can be used if you do not pull to hard. The cracks in each end of the handle, hold the ends in place. I kept it intact as much as possible, since the patent date is present on the handle base, Jan. 13, 1920. I don't find that info very often. New glues could hold it together at least for display. It is now to be in the hands of someone else. Thank you for looking.
