You are welcome Axel. Here is an old thread on the subject > https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?273263 < The 12th post has an instruction sheet for sharpening what looks to be a copy of the Millers Falls Cigar Shave.
There are also a few others in the thread who have found their own solutions to the mystery of these odd shaves.
