Thread: Multiple shaves require multiple razors?

Ah, more urban legends abound. OK, thanks all. (BTW, I*was* wondering about barbers who did 30 shaves / day & if they had a rack full of razors or something)

They must have had a few. "Barber's boxes" come up regularly on eBay in a couple of different sizes and outter finishes. There was a small-box-lock and a wire handle on top. I can only imagine they were mostly for taking the barber tools home for security, or to keen them for the next day's trade. Most of these boxes have larger slots for usually three scissors, and the "roof" of the box is tall enough to accomodate the scissors handles.
