    Default Let's Have a Contest.

    Well, the summer is drawing to a close with labor day approaching and the end of vacation season. So, either it's back to school or back to the grindstone at work.

    We have had many discussions concerning American made razors and how underrated they are. Personally I think Torrey made some of the best. Most of the cutlery outfits in the U.S were located in New York State in the Olean and Little Valley Locales though there were others scattered around the country.

    So, in order to win this contest I want you to write a short piece on why you think American made razors were the best. What? you don't think they were? Well, the pox on you then. So in that case write why you think they weren't the best.

    All entries will be judged for originality and this is open to everyone (except staff of course) and if you disparage American made razors just be advised we have some real experts on staff who will check your facts-har har.

    Oh a prize you say?

    Well, if YOU are the winner you will be the proud new owner of:


    No that isn't spine wear it has a scalloped spine and there is no frown the edge is dead straight and the razor is shave ready.

    We'll let this run until 9/20. Extended until October 01.

    Just put your entries in this thread.
