Rubber (furrier)
Wedge-shaped wooden hand tool (approx. 10-12 cm long; approx. 7-10 cm wide)
with a blunt metal or horn blade, sometimes with rounded corners, fixed in
the narrow tapered end. The furrier uses the expanded wood to flatten seams
(see also seam rubber), smoothly rubbing nailed material and stretching the
wetted sheets. It is handled with the right hand while holding the skin
with the left hand. [MOT]

Safety razor sharpener
There are different models of sharpeners for sharpening the blades of a
safety razor (1). In the past, people used a razor strop on which they
pushed the knife back and forth. You can also use a concave oil stone to
sharpen the blades. [MOT] (1) DURBIN G., Wig, hairdressing and shaving

Safety razor
Metal blade (approx. 4 cm by 1 cm) that cuts on one or two sides and which
is placed in a cap that is attached at right angles to a straight handle
(approx. 7-10 cm). The whole can be made of metal or plastic. In the past,
the blades were sharpened on a specially designed razor strop; today they
are disposable blades. Compared to the razor knife, the safety razor makes
it easier to shave without cutting. [MOT]
Salamander
Cast iron kitchen utensil consisting of a round plate (approx. 5-8 cm
diameter; approx. 1-3 cm thick), attached in the middle to a bent, long
(approx. 40 cm) handle, with or without wooden handle. When the salamander
is heated red hot over the gas or in the fire, it can be used to brown the
top of gratin dishes or sugared desserts with a crispy crust or a layer of
caramel.The salamander is almost indistinguishable from the hat iron, a
similar tool that was heated on the stove and used to iron the inside of
hats. [MOT]
