    ... actually belongs to the razor, as I can't figure out how it should be attached to the rest, and I haven't seen another Rapide online with that attachment.

    I'll show you the one kit I have. It's a Wilkinson 7-day Empire model, and it rather resembles an instrument of torture. I believe this has never been used. It is complete with all paperwork. The leather strop has never been out of its glassine wrapper. All the parts are oiled.
