Thread: Confusing the next generations

I would like to toss my hat in the ring on this. What this really comes down to is to the person that owns that razor. I myself think that an original plastic scale razor looks awful. There is a certain amount of character to the orginal yes. But that would be the prueist in me. I understand that when it was first made it was made for a job. It had a mission in life. That was to shave. Great! There are alot of really nice stock razors out there that are true work horses. But who's to say that shinning them up and making them look more elegant is a bad thing. On the flip side there are factory made razor that are a true piece of art that need to stay that way. I really think that there is more then enough razors that are stock out there that can be converted and alot of folks will see it for a work of art rather then a workhorse, thus now being a workable piece of art. Does this make it any better or worse, whos to say that. But I also agree that with todays data collecting abilities as what they are, having an original documented file of these is also very importent. When it is catalogged and documented do to what they do the form and funtion can be still figured out. I honestly think that we are on the rebirth of the single edged razor again. But this time it may not be bigger, but it will be a whole lot better. One more thing to that i think really addes a true joy to poeple is wondering what that razor have been through in its life. Just another joy of working with things like these. But please that is just my .02 cents.

The way the government is printing money it will take about $100,000 to buy a straight razor in a few years anyway.
