USMC

Clauss USMC. I asked for help finding a razor from Ohio and Roy (Cudarunner) bought this for me on fleabay in June (repaid him for the cost), honed it up for free and sent it to me this month. I had to deploy for a couple months so I am just getting it now. My dad was is/was a Marine so it was a double bonus.


Thanks Roy, I can't wait to use it.

Even though it says USMC and not US Army, that's AWESOME!!! Where did you deploy if you don't mind me asking? If you're USMC, I'd guess Bastion?

It honed up nicely, if by chance the owner disagrees, my work is 100% Guaranteed

Sorry but it's since it's been 3 months or so since I got it for the owner and got it ready to shave and put it away while he was deployed; I forgot that it arrived with a small chip at the toe, thanks to Glen (GSSIXGUN) and what he taught me at the one and only Meet that I've been able to make it to/taking it out was fairly straight forward, I was very pleased with how the end result looks like it came from the factory.

Now I have a new mission. If I could find an Army straight razor, I would be sooo happy!

Navy guy here,you need to find a NAVY razor:) Oh and just an FYI,the navy is in charge of the Marine corps:)))

@pixefixed.. in my experience, that transition occurs once they hit the medical side. Marines need NO ONE - until they get hurt. Then they love us Army and Navy folk!

United States Department of the Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mens dept?? thats funny:)

Let them be Pixelfixed. There is a reason they say "drink like a Sailor" "Fight like a Sailor" and "Cuss like a Sailor". We know who the men are.


Last but not least... If you control the seas you control the world.


I am a crewchief abord H-60's (Navy). Its like dealing with really smart rocks. How many smart rocks have you ever met?

Not Goona rock the Boat,took care of alot of Marines (navy corpsman 1966/67)
Marines are quite good,but Navy seals rule it all:))

I agree....lol. I have to give them a hard time though.

Had every intention of joining the Marines, ended up in the USN.

Failed my physical for the Corps because my head wouldn't fit in that jar. :p ;)

I've looked and looked and I can't find the video where General George Patton is addressing a group and says something to this effect:

"While flying here I looked down at the total devastation that occurs when the Third Army AND the 8th Air Force are done with it".

Please Note; AND!! Regardless of which branch we have served or serving in, we are/were a part of a 'Team' as each depends on the other one way or the other.

This link may be of interest when he's back home addressing on soil that wasn't torn by war. It's sort of a 'collection of clips' I for one am very thankful that my father, mother and their parents and friends and so many others didn't have to witness what Patton was describing about the flight over German.

Kyle: My apologies for hijacking your thread :bow:

Patton's voice is not what I expected.

So much for Movies. It wasn't his voice that led it was his knowledge of the battlefield and his determination to over come and win.:HJ

I've seen quite a few Army Navy straight razors....I'll keep my eye open for you!

Saw one on the bay about a week ago

There are 4 on eBay now and 1 has a BIN price that is cheap but needs a lot of TLC I didn't look at it very good so it may or may not be salvageable but I guess if you wanted one just to have and not shave with it it would be ok. There is 1 of the earlier models with USMC etched on the blade and 3 with the tang stamp.

It would be cool to one one from each branch.

I have had family in all the armed services including the Coast Guard & even Washingtons Army at Valley Forge. I see another collection in the making!

Slawman, NO MAYO in my slaw:medvl:

Navy here, too. Whats the acronym again...

MARINE=My A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment :rofl2:

I served with Marines in Naples. Great bunch of guys!!
