I pitched my "timber rattler" into the trash bin. Completely worthless...

Enjoy!!!

Umm i think it is... atleast selling it as a razor could be seen as false marketing

i gave the ebay seller a bad review basically saying the razor is not suitable for shaving
i was able to hone one of the 2 blades to the point where it will cut hair
shaved with that todays I can't wait for my new blade to arrive any longer
it seems to be lost in the mail. shipper nov 30 but hasn't arrived yet

that said the zeepk is absolute junk, it need to be honed again as it won't cut hair anymore, it gave out about 3/4 the way through my shave to the point where it was pulling and uncomfortable

It should be arriving anytime, kinda surprised it's not here yet

this razor still hasn't arrived,

Kinda bumed looking for a new deals! the junk zeepk that i'm using needs to be retired to the garbage pail!

Yeah, it's hard to be patient when waiting for your first (shave ready) blade to arrive. But you don't have to throw out the Zeepk - you can always use it as a letter opener

the zeepk also works well as a nail trimmer and a scraper blade with a bit of force

You could also spread butter with it

and you can practise tecknique while watching tv or reading the responses here
Its not like its going to cut you if you mess up(it can if you really try and have the edge as close to sharp as it gets)

Just back form some culinary experiments.
The zeepk will spread butter, jam, marmalade, and peanut butter onto toast
with a good push it also cut the slices of toast in half for more manageable dining.

Good suggestion roughkype!
