Never heard of that
My dad had one in the late '60s or early '70s. It was like you said. There was a plastic cartridge that held a continuous strip of razor metal, wound up around a spool. You'd mount the cartridge on the handle and shave for a few days until it got dull. Then, you'd turn a small handle on the back of the main handle one revolution and it would advance the strip of blade just enough to give you a "fresh" blade. I think you could turn that crank 10 times before the blade ran out.

My dad used to give me the cartridges to play with when it was used up, because the blade was completely wound up on the spool at that point and couldn't cut you. Unless you figures our a way to break that cartridge open, of course.

Can't recall the name, but I really think it was made by Gillette. I say that because at the time Schick was selling their Injector model, which gave fast blade changes without having to handle the blades.
