Nu Action Razor

[TRS]

I'm trying to find information about this Nu Action razor. So far there is only this photo, a mention that the handle is made of a spring and that this razor is supposedly from the 30s. I would be very grateful for any information about it. Thank you.

Sure looks like a Gillette OLD type head.

Clone, the teeth are different sizes.

Thank you very much for the photo and information.
According to the data from "A Safety Razor Compendium " Robert K. Waits - this razor does not have a patent.
I found another photo, from it you can estimate the dimensions of the handle: total length 75 mm (2.95 in ), length of the spring part 60 mm (2.36 in), handle diameter 10 mm (0.39 in )

This razor was haunting me, so I made a replica of it (I didn't make a copy, but a replica).

Having dimensions close to the original razor, I started to select a spring. A spring from a door stop turned out to be an ideal option.

The beginning was made, and then came the technical nuances. Since my workshop is limited to a small apartment, a step stool from IKEA serves as a workbench and there is no access to a lathe, I had to carefully search for blanks that I could remake myself. I was lucky and found suitable parts. The work took several days.

By the way, I managed to find only six photos of this razor.
