Durham Duplex Razor Company Ltd was registered in the UK on 11th May 1910 as a European subsidiary of a US razor blade manufacturer, Durham Razor Company Inc. This Company had been founded in New York in the late 1800s and designed the revolutionary Durham Duplex safety razor system, which is where the unusual name comes from, which was considered to be a major advancement in comparison to the traditional cut throat razor. The Duplex double edge steel razor blade could be re-sharpened on the strop almost indefinitely, but eventually they could be disposed of and replaced without needing a new handle -- offering considerable saving and a safe way to shave.
