Thread: why

Lol, here's the response I got:

"This is NOT industrial ELOI razors !! This is CUSTOM from directly Mr.ELOI handmade !!This is different !! ..The Handles is in Ivory Mammouth with the age of 40000 years ago !! The Hollow ground Blade is in Carbon Steel handforged and handmade Mirror finish !...Regards!!"

I did some quick research. Eloi died in '63 so he COULD have worked on a razor earlier... I have sent an e-mail to the distributor to see if there are any Eloi straight razors available. Eloi was endorsed by Vuitton, Hermes, etc. so I am not expecting anything cheap... let's wait and see

Cheers

You mean to ask why in one place he used only one instead of two? I guess he slipped

Ivo,

I'm a writer by profession, and this response was almost enough to make me die laughing. Under normal circumstances I find grammer, spelling and punctuation to be humorous, but this ... I nearly choked I was laughing so hard.

Thanks for being our own SRP Borat.

Talking about expensive - I was looking at EBay the other week and saw a NOS Norton barbers hone and the bidding was up to $365.00.

Emphasis added above. It's ok, I'm an engineer by profession and that's no guarantee that I know a damn thing about designing things Scary thought though, eh?

If he wants people to take him, and the razor, seriously, he really shouldn't have put in all those exclamation marks. Makes him look about two.

Nerobot,

Love your signature file--I write shorthand, too. Like straight razor shaving, it's a dying art form. I may copy your idea, if you wouldn't mind.

To those who would pick on my spelling: This is a "known issue," as they say in the technical fields. I've always had a spelling problem, which is ironic for someone who does as much proofreading as I do. I think I may have a mild, undiagnosed case of dyslexia. It does make me more aware of little things when I'm writing, but sometimes things slip through...

Josh

Josh, feel free to use the idea. I fyou don't mind me asking, what form of shorthand do you write? I write greggs simplified.
