Thread: So who's got $40?

I was poking about the antiques section of my local craigslist and got all excited at the headline "Straight Razors-$40" . I was wondering if the seller had multiples razors for $40 each or a couple of razors for $40 total. So I clicked the ad and was excited then I read the text: Five straight razors and two straight razor boxes............$40.00..............ALL". So then I scrolled down to the pics and had a sad.
So I had to share it with you:

Straight Razors

Haha wow. How does a person get so many straights that look like a hammer was taken to them ?

Whoa . . . that picture's enough to make ya loose your breakfast. Must have used them to do a bit of rock sculpting. Think I'll keep those 2 twenties in my pocket.

To be frank and 100 pecent honest.
i would only spend 1 dollar on all of them personally.
I guess if you ground the nicks out.
you could test stones with them.
to make sure your stones flaws.
like lower grit stuff right in the middle that would nick any
pricise blade. It's not a bad idea to have test razors.

heck, you guys need more skills at this stuff. Getting those razors shave ready is child's play.

I started with the first and after a hour I had the second:

Quite expensive for that bunch of paint stirrers!

That's some awesome Photoshop skills you got there

As for the OP those blades look like they were meant to be models for the orc weapons in the Lord of the Rings movies.

I giggled pretty hard when I saw the price he actually wanted knowing that there are several shops in the area that routinely have Torreys and the like in decent shape for less than $20. Just another day on craigslist in a small town.

They may be useful for the fancy beard designs and hair cuts a lot of the young folks are sporting these days.
