Thread: The Alphabet according to Straight Razor Shaving

K is for Keen Kutter razors...made in New York, I believe

L is for Lip Lopper, it's what you get if you're not careful with that meat chopper you call "a razor".

Whoever gets P better use PHILADELPH!!!

M like in Monkey tail... its use is equivocal: could be a synonym for "tang", or means: an unusual long tang... but whatever, it's the end of the thing.

Might I suggest NOS as in New Old Stock for N... anyone? This thread has completely stalled otherwise. I technically cannot post it though as I have already done a letter!

You are correct Alex, this thread is dying. Perhaps taking N and carrying on is a good idea since this thread is fun.... so go for it. Take 'N'

Alright, N is for NOS as in New Old Stock- NOS razors are commonly sought after for their rarity in original condition. Age can vary, but the more pristine and untouched, the more valuable they are to buyers and collectors.

O for Otto Duetsch razors
Otto Duetsch & Sohne Solingen Germany Very fine shavers that some think may be cousins to the Dubl Duck Family of razors, and others think are a seperate entity (I don't know either way for sure) The "HANS" is the best known model with emearld green scales and silver bolsters, and inlays, there is also a "FRITZ" model that I personally have seen out there...

I just happened to shave with mine this morning so the "O" was easy

SOTD

P is for Pre and Post-shave. A term applied to preparation of the skin before shaving and care of the skin after shaving.

My fringers type too fast, and my mind moves too slow to keep up with you guys. Damm Damm Damm me. I'll just watch as it developes!
