Thread: Sweeney Todd Razor

Hey All,

Just finished watching ST and although I wasn't fond of the movie at all, I did LOVE the razors in it. I was wondering if there was a way to obtain a Fully FUNCTIONAL Sweeney Todd razor or even something REALLY Close?

Thanks

Well, what's about that item:
Amazon.com: Sweeney Todd Shaving Kit: Toys & Games

They say it's a real straight razor, but that would be pretty cheap
Anyway, don't forget to clean the razor if you find one, you know how Mr. Todd handled the razors

The razors in the Johnny Depp version looked really cool. That said they ruined what could have been a great movie with all of the over the top gratuitous gore. They being the writers of the screenplay. There are two other versions on DVD, one with Angela Lansbury and the other with Patti LuPone. The latter is my favorite but they are both very good. I liked Depp's performance but as I said the gore was just too much. As far as a copy of the razor, you might get in touch with one of the custom makers and see if they would take on the project.

I've seen them occasionally on eBay often described a s Civil War era razors, but rarely are they in hood condition. I'm sure that wouldn't stop some of the genius restorers here from changing that though.

Speaking of Civil War razors ... take a look at this.

That's a beaut!

Otherwise, Prof. you could get one of the genius custom makers like Joe Chandler to make one just like it. The movie prob had an extra long blade for dramatic effect, but I think a standard " model would still look good.

regarding the Sweeney Todd razors, Global Gear (www.globalgear.com.au) will be getting
them in soon.

I got one. Found it is not a functional razor
but a display piece, still fairly sharp though.
If you want a funtional one maybe Neca [or
something similar, sorry mental blank] ones
are the go.

imm sure that a maker could get you a good blade to go into the handle if you needed it

just how big is that thing

the one that I have which the NECA prop replica version is:
6.25" from the end of the tang to the end of the blade. Overall when open it is about 11" The scales them selves are close to 6".............but a not so shavable blade.
