Funny thing is that's what I tend to think and it makes them even more special to me as it's closer to my current circumstances than any far fetched fantasy! An average razor for a fairly average guy but lovingly looked after for years and years. I don't always agree with giving an old razor a mirrored finish, sometimes I much prefer a bit of pitting and patina and going easy on the old boys. They've led a long life and deserve a bit of rest sometimes...
I also hate to admit I've had some fairly sinister thoughts about who old razors could have belonged to. I've thought it's easy to think it could have belonged to an unspoken war hero or pillar in the community glass half full but could also have belonged to someone less than savoury in the eyes of society glass half empty. It's one of those things I don't put much thought into but it has crossed my mind before! Sad I know.
