Thread: Cut Throat Razor, Really ?!?!

Just wonder if I am the only one irritated by the term "Cut throat razor". That seems a bit pessimistic if you ask me. ( which you did not ) I don't call my hammer a thumb smash hammer! Just a thought...
Shave on, carefully, Mike

no but i have ask for a thumb smasher before.

i kind of like it myself. i dont find it pessimistic at all, but thats just my opinion.

-dan-

I belive there was a brand of razor called a cut throat, thats were the name came from, but it does bother me that people think they are so deadly, I have tried to prove to people that if a 15 yr old (me) can use one of what lil hair i have and not cut my face to shreds then anyone can use it.

Mine lived up to its name this morning when I got in a hurry...ouch.

Makes you respect this shaving tool, it CAN and WILL lay claim to it's name if not used properly.

I don't really care what people refer to it as; they could call it Baby Killer for all I care. I don't use a straight because it's got a nice friendly name that doesn't offend anyone, I use it because it gives me better shaves and I like the experience.

Hello!
I do not pay attention to this name (Cut throat razor), because I think that would cut my throat must really want this

i find that using the name is the only way i can get people to recognize what i am talking about.

I either have to describe it as a "Cut Throat" razor or a "Sweeney Todd" Razor. otherwise people look at me sideways when i say that i have started using a straight edge razor to shave with.

i like both names for the razor personally, don't know why but its part of how i came to love them so much.

Same thing... if I say Straight Razor people go say Cut Throat and all becomes clear. I like the term
