Any Straight Razor folks?

WWes · 08-22-2015, 03:51 AM

I've got 2 decent ones and a vintage honing stone.

Looking for $150 out of the trio.
2 blades, 1 stone

all have mis-matched boxes

Interest? Just PM for pics/details

I think my price is fair but negotiable. It's the number I'll throw at local ads. Family pieces I'll never use, I'd like to see them get a good home. Nice knives, the honing stone as well.

I still have several, including stones and strops.

One of my kids gave me a brand new strop for my birthday, one year.

But I don't have a razor for it. All I have is a Dovro replaceable blade straight razor.

Been using an old-fashioned safety razor, lately. With blades at around $10/100 it only makes sense.

The deal above is a fair deal, if you are looking for a good straight razor.

You can sharpen a double edged blade by rubbing

it around in a drinking glass...

Yep, did that for many a year, you could use that blade every day, for a week, if you kept your glass handy. I used a pint jar for mine.

Kept a few packets of blades in the same jar, with the razor.

I used "Blue Blades" just because.

I have torn out many bathroom walls, below

the Medicine Cabinet, to find that people had

used that little slot.

Sometimes there would be an electrical wire

ran thru there. I wonder if that combination

ever caused a fire...

Yep, I've been faced with that razor cleanup several times.
Big magnet, inside a bucket.
One house had about four feet of those blades.
The bottom half was one solid chunk of rust.

I shave but not with bloody weapons, lest we include the cheapest disposable Banzai Bic. All I need these days. Just thought I'd check in here first.

I compared ALOT on Ebay and antique/vintage sites. Also ran across a lot of creepy "man " forums dedicated to the beard and accessories. Woo boyee. Um, not signing on to any of those. Not to say it's wrong or gay. Just creeps me out when dudes share facial hair bizness to an extreme. Not in that deep, one quick slice and I've got a generic goatee.

Funny I should mention creepy with a 6" ponytail growing beneath my chin...LOL! Some girls...like it. Those that don't fear the brush! As explained: 'It's not so much a fashion statement, but a tool".

As I wiggled it at her: "Wanna sniff?"

It would be so much more acceptable with a V bike. I don't do ink or piercings but I did get turned on to "Viking" beard jewelry. I like it. My birthday is coming, I'll splurge on a piece of rolled silver. That and a new Swiss pruner will mark the half century "happy".

I've used those cheap Bic razors since the seventies. Work fine for me.

dinkydow · 09-01-2015, 08:07 PM

Shave? I gave that up the day I ETS'd.

For what I do they work. I'm not a big fan of the China fed dollar store

but then again I work for my keep and I have to shop on the NO FED plan.

Why oh why do we feed those who contribute nothing?

It's truly a sickness. I feel 0% guilt. ZERO.

Guilty of being greedy, bad, white guy that paid in cash. From earnings, hate unrelated. Hate wasn't an issue.
