But the Williams razor BELONGS with Williams 

So who built it I wonder. Is the name actually with JB Williams?

I have found enough info to satisfy me that it was produced by or for JB Williams in the 30's. It was made for a cash strapped depression era when Williams needed to get some inexpensive, maybe even give away, razors in the hands of users to sell soap.


It looks crude, however it is really a very simple, but elegant design.

I also found the patent but we really shouldn't be discussing an unmentionable here 
Interesting that the patent shows a unmentionable as well as a Single Edge model as the patent was on the clamping design for the most part.
