    I have one that came with a name already:

    Lewis has turned out to be a fine shaver. It was only recently that I noticed the words "made in England" in fine print on the tang. I reckon that's a sheffield blade.

    What made you decide on the names you picked?

    The only razor I have a name for is one I call "Old Facecutter" . I learned 4 things from this razor ; #1 , stretch the skin . #2 , lower the blade angle . #3 , reduce the pressure . #4 , my honing was better than I thought it was . This happened back in April 2007 . My technique has improved since then , and Old Facecutter doesn't scare me anymore .
    Greetings , from Dundalk , Maryland . The place where normal people , fear to go .

    The only names my razors have are the ones stamped on the tangs.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
