Interchangeable Razor Blade. The number of dovlccs which hnvo been recently Introduced for tho convenience con-venience of tho man who wants to shnvo himself is almost without end, nnd tt would seem many things of this character must certainly put somo of the barber establishments out of business, but tho latter seem to go on Increasing Just tho same. It often happens thnt a man Is perfectly able to shave himself In a very satisfactory manner, hut his difficulty may bo In keeping tho razor In proper condition, and If ho Is compelled to run to the barber's or cutler's shop with tho Instrument In-strument every few weeks there Is no advantago In tho possession of tho skill necessary to nmputato tho whiskers whisk-ers from bis face. Tho Interchangeable razor blade has been dovlscd to meet this emergency. In appearance It looks like pretty much any other razor, but tho blade end ot tho combination consists of SnOWlNG&AHPAJTDfOuT & I two parts, tho blado Itself nnd the German silver holder. When It Is do-slrablo do-slrablo to substltuto ono blado for another, tho operation Is very readily conducted. A spring catch releases tho cutter and It Is theu pushed from its lodging placo. llesldes tho advantago qf always having n suitable blado In rcadlnoss nnd In good condition, this arrangement arrange-ment presents tho addition of permitting per-mitting tho ownor to strop his razor by a mechnntcnl devico which Is used with tbo safety razors, but which i not hcrotoforu beon adapted for jo with thu old typo of Instrument. It also permits tho roversal of tho blado so that every portion of tho cutting edgo may como In for its shnro of Bcrvico.
