Thread: Magnetic razors

I did read, somewhere, an advertisement card or paper, I think I saw it in an antique store and rust prevention was part of it. I didn't buy the razor, it was too rusty.

Regards,
Howard

You could be right, but since I've gotten older my whiskers look like a bunch of frayed electrical wires that I figured would be attracted to a magnetic razor

Wow holy cow my Magnetic razor really is magnetic.
I hone and strop to see if it's shaves better.
I could not pass on buying it at what i paid.

I thought you were going to refer to the USS Eldridge...
