Once the primary tool used for shaving, Cutthroat Razors are far less common than Disposable Razors and refillable Razor Systems. Cutthroat Razors feature long blades that typically fold into the handle, and they require considerable skill to use and maintain. You're most likely to see a Cutthroat Razor in a period film—one that features an old-school barber who also applies shaving soap with a shaving brush.
