    I suppose I'll have to start calling my razors hooks! And boy do I wish there were still razor traders that would come around to my town. I could do with a good sharp razor for fifteen cents.

    Thanks for posting. Interesting to see what the world was like when straights were about the only way to go!

    So now we have documented proof that RAD was in existence in 1904. Picked them up at pawn shops and everything.

    Thanks for a very interesting article Martin. I believe you just may have added some additional jargon to the lexicon of our hobby.
