Thread: If razors could talk.

Its amazing when you look at old straight razors on different auction sites what some of these things look like. I mean I can understand a little rust if you don't pay alot of attention and it sits around, sure, rust happens. But look at this.

How people take chunks out of blades like this is amazing 0_0

What were our ancestors up to

All it takes is a moment's carelessness. The razor slips from your soapy fingers, ricochets off the faucet and slams into the bottom of the sink. It not only happened to our ancestors, it's still happening to our contemporaries. Just don't ask me how how I acquired such detailed information . . .

I've noticed that you really don't see giant gouges like that in the old wedges like you do in the full hollows
