The most interesting of these to me so far has been love razors. The matching piece taken from the barber's notch (or B-N as we in this area like to call it) is given to one's beloved, who hangs it around her neck as a symbol of ownership, like a yoke if you will. When the two pieces were reunited, the entire razor was said to be imbued with a mystical power, a little like how the Power Rangers can join up to make a more powerful defender of all that is right. There is anecdotal evidence that the Chronik is one such razor, but this cannot be confirmed as yet.

This is a fascinating speculation, and opens up a whole new line of inquiry: Is it mushroom-hunting season Down Under, and are you using a good field guide?
