Thread: Cool find

On the way out the door of a antique shop when out the corner of my eye I found a working JC PENNY. Double edge razor strop

they are pretty cool. They were used when razor blades were actually sharpened, now they are coated to make them sharp.

Neat. And it still works. "They just don't build them...........,, wait, I sound like my Dad". ��

If my mom would have known these things existed, she would have bought stocks of them. She used a DE for years shaving her legs and using it to cut calluses and corns from her feet. Buying blades like she had RAD. (School teacher 40 yrs.)

cool, is that crox?

No just green paint,like on the crank. I thought the same thing.

The permedge stropper is identical. The kind that has sort of barber hone fingers that clamshells over a de blade and you pull the string to rub the blade across them actually works. I got a nos carbon acceptably sharp with the thing.

That is a cool find...get it working!!!

It does work. Leather needs conditioned.
