TREASURE!!!
Yeah, before I misplaced it I put that X on there in case I needed to identify it as MINE. Please return it immediately ! :rofl2:
Charles Xavier is on line 1, sir.
:chapeau
Those x's. They be notches. The owner was probably a killer.
somebody didn't get to finish up a DoubleDuck resto! :banghead:
The infamous X, the mark of an illiterate.

Brand: Unknown
Only thing I can think is it was used in a barber shop and the razor was marked by the owner so he was shaved by his own razor. Might be wrong but it is the only thing that makes sense
Like BobH said, it is a sign that a previous owner was iliter, er, ilitter, no, ilitra
It means they couldn't spell

Neil
Actually thats my signiture,and I are highley educated:)
Or it could mean his name was Mark Illiterate. I hear it was a large family at one time.Quote:

Well Einer, the lyrics from Annie Get Your Gun put it nicely:
Folks are dumb where I come from,
They ain't had any learnin,
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes natur'lly.
Folks like us could never fuss,
With schools and books and learning.
Still we've gone from A to Z,
Doin' what comes natur'lly.
My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name.
He signs his checks with "x's
But they cash them just the same.
If you saw my ma and pa,
You'd know they had no learnin,
Still they raised a family,
Doin what came naturlly.
Gentlemen, I rest my case!
Regards,
Neil
Qwite rite, as I be to.Quote:

It would seem that they weren't very inventive though, I have half a dozen razors with ID marks on the scales.. all X's.
rs,
Tack
I am now convinced that there is one all powerful razor that has the power to control those that possess razors with these X's. Those that fall under the spell are doomed to post questions about X's on razors. I too was a victim after receiving one of the cursed razors (below). I tried to break the spell by removing the scales, but the witchcraft is crafty and now I am compelled to purchase every razor I see. I'm cursed!

The X symbol on razors is from the illiterate barber, the others educated barbers put numbers on the scales, right Tom?
Maybe this barber was quite literate and well schooled in Latin studies. Thus, he marked this razor with the Roman numeral for 10. If you run across any other razors marked XLVII or thereabouts it would indicate he was also a good barber with a large clientele. Or, he could have been some clown with a newly sharpened jacknife that he was wanting to try out.

You must bring this razor to a vulcano. There happens to be one right next to my house, send it to me and I'll drop it off for you :)
