Thread: I'm not a scientist

Just got this lot from ebay without a rival bid, so a good deal.

Now, I'm not a scissor scientist but what I can say about these is that they came in a box marked ladies hair scissors. As stated I'm no scissor scientist, but I have established they also cut men's hair. I can say that much about them having tested, first on my wife to establish fact then on my son to challenge authority.

The pair of scissors, top left of group pic, have been ruined by some idiot carving grooves into the blade to try to make cheap skate hair combs, honestly a super market comb made of high quality plastic would do the job better than coming one's hair with these, I tried on my son and he really moaned about them being scratchy.

The third item, I'm not too sure why it's in there, for anyone who is interested I believe it to be an old fashioned lemon zester likely to be of early Mayan origin, they clearly made these to last forever, a bit of a waste given their pessimistic outlook on the future of the world, however a lucky mistake given the amazingly poor prediction powers.

The razor part of the lot it's very nice. Some minor marks will polish out easily. There is no manufacture name but made in Sheffield is above a long sword (manufacture anyone?) It pops arm hair very well, and although the spine is worn its very clean and even, I am fairly sure this will shave again.

Don't know if you are serious or joking. The comb scissor is for thinning hair and the zester is a hair clipper (pre-electric). As for the razor, the only one that comes close is Joseph Allen & sons. On "Strazors.com", under J. A. It shows a sword along with one of its other losos in an old ad.

Hilarious, made my day! All the best with the restore, looks like a nice old blade.

Thanks. I was joking.

Joseph Allan would make sense. Part of the razor box is a ja box.

Ladies hair scissors would tend to be smaller with smaller holes, refers to user not customer lol








Ps love sarcasm :-P
