Thread: Pakistani Razors - Don't Knock 'Em!

I just bought a bunch of razors and in the lot I found a Mughal straight razor, made in Pakistan. Now I have heard that these razors are useless, but I just wanted to tell you all that isn't true. While I wouldn't put one of these razors with that curious "bendy" steel to my face, I have found 1001 uses for them, including:

Removing the tape from boxes (as long as you don't contact the cardboard)

Opening those annoying "cut here" plastic freezer bags, so you can get to the frozen beans

Gifts for those special people in your life that really shouldn't be wet shaving

cutting dead leaves off of houseplants

Stirring paint

Trimming still wet epoxy resin from the underside of scales

Cutting pills in half (as long as they aren't too hard)

So let's not be so tough on the little fellers.

. Stirring paint. That's Gold !!! LOL...

You forgot using it as a shoehorn............. Samattaforu!!

Too bad I got thrown out of medical school back in the 60's or I might be using one of those Pakistani razors as a tongue depressor!!!

another use that comes to mind would be to spread butter on toast

Rumor has it that they are also sold on www.rinkydinkrazor.org

I'm all outta Pakistani jokes. I'm going to bed.

I got an el cheapo knife once, and i got a free handmade folding knife, its 3" when open, and it was hand made in Pakistan, it has a bone handle lol.

How about letter opener, bookmark.

You wouldn't have to worry about cutting the toast!

I got one in my toolbox. Itll be useful for something one day.
