Thread: Who bought that ugly razor?

I couldn't find the original thread but do ya'll remember this razor?



Well, I liked it so I bought it. Just got it today. This picture is from the ebay post. I'll take more later.

Got to admit, now that I've got my hands on it I like it even better.

Well...at least you should be able to find a good use for the scales

Kind of looks like a folding butter knife.

I would say: get it honed and let us know how she shaves. If the shaves are crap you at least have a nice set of scales for your next restoration job.

Brave of you to come out of the closet that way !!

Looks like it's made for gettin under the nose.

Is the spine very thin or does it just have a very steep bevel angle?

I remember that when I first saw this thing, I really wanted it. I hope you plan on shaving with it as I would love to hear how it goes.

Thanks

I guess I just like the strange and different.

Kind of like shaving with a straight instead of a minature version of a lawn mower.

I love the scales even though they're just cheap plastic. As for the blade - it really gets my since of design revved up.

Most of us have strong feelings for certain blade designs. Some think that the rounded points look like butter knives - I love 'em. Some love the barbers notch - I think it looks like a grinder accident.

But like my Grandpa always said.

"If we all liked the same thing, then we'd all want to go upstairs and jump your Grandma!!!"

So, I guess being different isn't all bad.

The blade appears to be about a 1/4 hollow. It has a few flea bites on the edge but once I get it honed I will try shaving with it and let ya'll know how it goes. As for under the nose - I'm not shaving my mustasche for anyone.

Well, back to the closet.

it is by far, the most interesting razor I have seen to date. No doubt a keeper! And once polished up and honed, certainly a topic for conversation. Please keep us up to date on its restoration.
