Are you aware that before the age of the disposable razor, and the plastic shavers we click in to each morning, there were two types of shaving equipment? The cut-throat and the safety razor. I remember my grandfather using the cut-throat in the early 1950s. Then, in the 1960s my father was using a safety razor. In other words, the Second World War effectively marks the demise of the cutthroat. Still, even today in Pakistan and all down the Indian sub-continent, barbers give you a delightful shave with a disposable safety held securely in a holder that looks exactly like the old cut-throats and which is used in precisely the same way. So there is still some life left in the romance of cut=-throat razors. And, of course, the magnificent Geo F Trumper shavers will always be popular here in the West. Their weight and balance combine to give the ultimate shave.
