Razor (I Think). Can You Help Me With Age And Type?

[flinthunter]

Sorry, the color of these pictures is off. The piece is yellow brass and the rusty looking areas are just tarnished. This is about 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 3/4 inches wide. The markings on the body read H.M. FAWSITT & CO'S - PATENT NO. 3463 - SHEFFIELD. The blade is marked MACKIE - TRADE MARK H.M. FAWSITT & CO'S PRIZE - EDINBURGH. The blade adjusts slightly forward and back to expose or cover the slots on the bottom. I am guessing this might be made in England or Scotland. It certainly seems to be for shaving something but I have no idea what. Any information you can give me on age, origin, or use will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Could possibly be a wall-mounted blade dispenser.
