Travelling through northern British Columbia on vacation and stopped at a tiny Antique store and nabbed this razor.It is a Clark pat in 1910 nothing unusual with that, where it gets new to me is that the razor doesn't have a top cap.The blade has self supporting written on it and it is held in place by a clip on one end and the blade slot is held at the other end by a raised knob .To load the blade you slip the widened centre slot over the raised knob and slide it back toward the clip,there is a second lower alignment knob by the clip.First time I've seen a DE without a top cap to hold and align the blade, the baseplate has a cutout to facilitate the blade change.

Who needs a top cap anyway?
