My Razor is Named...
Howdy all,
hope you're all having a greats day so far. I've come to realize that we all care for our razors and other shave gear so much that we treat them like a member of the family. So my question is do these razors of yours have a name?
Or am I the only crazy one that gave mine names? So far my razors are named Michele, The King and Woody.
-
My razors arent named now, but when I started they were called "ouch!", "ah, crap" and "dammit!".
And my alum block was called "Sheeeeeeeeee-yut!!" :D
Hehe! :rofl2: :rofl2:
What made you decide on the names you picked?
-
Haha yeah when I started I had similar named. A bit more vulgar but similar lol.
Well the names were pretty easy to choose.
Michele is a henckels friodur 5/8 named after my fiancé who gave it to me as my engagement present to me.
The King is a Thiers Issard 6/8 named so just because it's the best razor I have and gives me amazing shaves
And Woody is a restored heckeles 5/8 platinum that I bought of eBay. I just named it woody cuz of the wooden scales it has.
As you can see nothing real special but I like the names none the less
-
I gots too many to name them all but a few have references that my son and I use for razors that have some significance like the Pope's razor, the Father's Day Razor and the Chinese razor. There are a few others I just can't recall at this time but nowhere near a pet name for each of them except for the Robeson 'Our Pet'. :)
-
yeah i guess people with bigger collections would have a harder time giving names to their razors. also i guess it takes time to forge a relationship with a particular razor and then to take the time to nickname it
-
Some of my razors have names, but most do not.
-
-
I've only named one, and that is informal. Triple Nickel is what I call a 6/8 Livi Takeda Damascus. The reason should be clear.
-
I'm too polygamous to remember the names of all, but Glen named one of them for me FGTH - frankie goes to hollywood.
-
Glen why did you choose those names for your razors?
What is the story behind everyone elses?
