   I haven't seen a razor in decades but Gillette Blue Blades still are   
   available. That made me curious. I remember the double edge safety razors,   
   and the Schick injector types but I don't know if I've ever seen a shaving   
   razor that used the single edge razor blades used in scrapers and other   
   tools.
