No one knows who invented the straight razor for sure. Narrow bladed folding razors were first offered for sale in 1680 in Sheffield, England, and in 1740 we know that a man named Benjamin Huntsman had invented a new process for making them and the way that he made them spread to other countries, but that new process is the closest we have to being able to identify a single person as an inventor of the straight razor.
