Quotes about Razors

After joining this group, learning to enjoy this new hobby, failing a lot... I've found myself noticing quotes from reading. As they come up, I'll share for your enjoyment.

"In the mornings we shaved, dipped our hands in the water and ran our razors over the strop, though the strop sometimes forgot, and we shaved with blunted razors. We cut ourselves too, and some mornings I looked like a man with the measles, with little balls of toilet paper all over my face, the blood came like a spring from a rock" (Sebastian Barry, "Days Without End").

Sebastian Barry mentions razors in lots of context and his characters seem to have routine trouble remembering to bring strops on their adventures.

Well, maybe not a quote about razors but the author makes up for that:

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, / And the vermin of the world inhabit it, / And its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit, / And it goes by the name of London.


Sweeney Todd.

Lyrics from one of my favorite Steely Dan songs:

"Will you still have a song to sing when the razor boy comes and takes your fancy things away? Will you still be singin' it on that cold and windy day?"

I can roughly remember this quote from an old western but can't remember the movie's name.
"Can I borrow your razor ? Mine's a mite too thin too plow with.
