    Default Corns

    While helping clear out my former brother in law's place this was found:

    Way back around 9 years or so ago, Glen (gssixgun) hosted a razor meet in Spokane and I attended. Paul Kidd came all the way from the San Francisco area and I believe it was he who had brought some Corn Razors. Glen said that the little shorties were used to cut corns off of peoples feet.

    Unfortunately there wasn't an actual Corn Razor inside. I did an online search and found a picture of what should have been in the box--

    There were a couple of full sized straight razors found but they need some work. I'll post pics of them at a later date.

    Don’t know why, but those things send a shiver down my spine. I used to watch my mom use one to go after her corns. I can shave with straight no problem, but those freak me out.

    Well they also get used for trimming back feet callouses and can make your boots more comfortable. The more modern ones are kind of like a plane.

    Even though it is a form of razor....
    It would never get near my face or feet.

    Where's your sense of adventure. Just do the feet last so you don't get athlete's face.

    If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.
