  Found it at Digitalmuseum.no - an online, digital collection of the archives of most Norwegian museums.

  The item is at the Norwegian Museum of Technology, and they are the ones who identify it as a razor.

    If “Hovel” is the tool you flatten wood with, that’s the traditional German word for razors that are neither straights, nor cartridge razors (Rasierhobel).

    I have never seen any contraption like this before, and I don’t see clearly where’s the edge, or how you would shave with it.
