Thread: A razor that has a personality problem.

Yeah I restored a Sears "Self-Honing" razor and it never self honed I think some of that old advertising was all hype like Jimmy says.

Those lies are nothing compared to the whoppers they tell about the Gillettes and Schicks.

My face told me so and I finally listened.

I could not resist shaving tonight and let me tell you it is a smooth shaver and really forgiving.

I really like my 5/8 Carbo-Magnetic. It was my first well-informed razor purchase. Hones easily and shaves smoothly.

Well I got lucky since it only needed a good stropping.

I'll do you a solid and give you $6 for it, twice what the add says it sells for.

I am sorry I don't do money, I only do magic beans

Would Mexican jumping beans suffice?

Personally, I think you're the dude running around the neighborhood slashing bicycle tires.

Who leaves bikes outdoors anyway. I know I would never leave my beautiful Look 595 or my Ridley Helium outside unattended.
