My SWAG is that a guy had one razor he could refresh occasionally and he knew how to do it. Not like us with a selection and trying to hone and shave with each one that comes in the the door. The old timers often had a guy come through town or the local barber who would hone a blade that needed it for a small fee.

That's how it was in Puerto Rico when I was growing up. He will come around in a little truck with all the equipment. My grandmother used to own a beauty salon and she will also straight shave male clients. The guy will show up every couple of weeks and my grandmother just handed him the razors and scissors and to work he went.

You couldn't missed him, he used to play this loud whistle with a unique sound, you knew it was him a mile away.

Good memories!
