Thread: Busted Razor Recyling

I don't think he sells them, not that I know of anyway. He seems to just enjoy finding new ways to show off his razors.

Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

too bad to restore, and wondered what you guys did with
your 'too far gone' razors.

I've often thhought about converting them to framebacks, only certain types of straight

I hope the wind chime razors are still sharp. It would help to keep pesky solicitors of the front porch.
