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.
