Thread: Digging the the LOC digital archives - razor use and return policies?

I know there are a few historians on here, most of us can dig a little bit of history. Its a slow day at work so I was digging through the Library of Congress digital archives and came across this.

The art of honing a razor. The art of shaving : [Lonergan, Charles H.] [from old catalog] : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive

I read the last paragraph and it had me laughing . Particularly the part quoted below.

"..it is always better to adopt the plan fenerally adopted by barbers, i.e., to obtain a cutler's sanction to allow you, by paying a trifle more, a reasonable length of time to try one (razor) after another until you get one to suit you."

Does anyone know of any cutlers that still maintain a use and return policy?

I doubt it would ever happen commercially due to the possibility of blood borne pathogens, other than that, I would say that the auction sites are the most used in regards to use & resale followed by the rest of us who find what we consider "keepers" and sale off the rest here or on the auction sites.

Not with razors however I believe Cutco will accept returns of their knives at any time for any reason.
