Mexican gun forum with a razor section

[Wullie]

Lousy? probably, handy, and EVERYWHERE back then? absolutely. Dont judge by todays standards, judge by the times. there were no junk china blades being hawked on every corner and in every bodega, fighting knives on existed in the military and in the hands of hunters, and a shop keep had scruples and might likely turn away a "tough" if he thought he was up to no good. But nobody thought twice about a young man needing a razor for shaving with.

Hmmmmmmm

thats one helluva teaparty, me thinks lots of drink was also involved. thats the best customer comment i have ever read

Hmmmmmmm

Any edge that can cut flesh is almost magically transformed into a "fighting knife" the instant it is deployed for such a purpose. Native Americans made them from flint and obsidian. This concept is not at all new.

Wullie, you are still not thinking like a street tough from the 40s Killing was not what they were tying to do. and a stab is a lot more likely to kill than a slice. The name of the game was intimidation and respect (spelled F.e.a.r.)
And that pocket knife in a fight had as high of a chance of folding shut on your fingers. A razor, held proper by the spine and tang, had less danger to the wielder than a pocket knife. One of the reasons you see those occasional rings welded on. To keep it from closing on you.

Ok Pete, I see, well sort of. For clarity I know what a hash symbol is, I just didn't know what they were for in interneteese, so I put hashtags around the place like #DODGY PETES DODGY BUT AT LEAST AVERAGE GARDENING and if someone clicked on it they could find you, assuming that is what you call your business.
Though the simple as peas one doesn't work if I click it.
And what is the @ all about before someone's name, I understood it to mean at.

On social media sites like Twitter, a hashtag is used to link your tweet to similar content. If I put #StraightRazor in a tweet, it will show up as a clickable link. Clicking on it takes you to a page that shows all the tweets (from anyone) with #StraightRazor.
@ is to link a message to another user. If I put @SomeDude in my tweet, it will link to a twitter user named SomeDude.

Ok now I Get it, I could hashtag stuff #edlikes and a list of all the stuff I like would come up if someone clicked on one of them.
and the @ Thing just doesn't do anything here.
Cheers for the internetucation fellers, right you can get back to talking about messing people up now

I was in the Navy with a Cajun. He was a fighter of some reknown. He knew how to use a straight in a fight and carried one when we were messing up and around in "Po" town in the P.I.

His method of choice was to hold the razor in his right hand. Hand wrapped around the scales and the blade edge facing the same direction as the knuckles. The blade was more or less loose. His method was to punch some one in the face and the weight of the blade would swing it forward and deliver a nice cut. If a punch was missed, there was still a good chance the blade would connect. He also carried a single edged disposable blade and he held that thing in his teeth. If someone hit him in the mouth, they were guaranteed a cut knuckle or three.

Liberty call was always an adventure with that guy.

I'm too old for those games now. Sam Colt helps me keep things equalized nowadays.
