We're all sissies
Here's the proof. The bottom blade was used by my grandfather, the top is a gift from my wife (shocking as it is, she saw it at an antique market and picked it up for me, was a bit insulted when I started laughing)
For all our 8k, 12k, Belgian, Escher, CrO2 - these were probably honed on a 220 stone
Yeah, men were real men then
Cheers

And their aftershave was pure grain alcohol mixed with gunpowder... which they ignited after splashing on their faces!

And they wiped their butts with oak leaves. I'll pass on that too.

Oak Leaves!?! Pffftt.... why my grandpappy used PINECONES! And if none were available, he'd fashion a "scraper" by knapping a large nodule of flint! And he was grateful for the chance to wipe himself with it!

Dude, that's so soft. My grandpop had two straights - his shavin' straight and his a-wipin' straight. Kept them both shave-sharp, too. Originally Posted by Scrapyard Ape

What a weenie. My great-grandpap stuck his face into a roaring steel furnace when he wanted a shave! He did not want to wait for the metal to be fashioned into some girly blade. Originally Posted by Jimbo
