Wow, Shane, now that's cool! Do you have any safety razors from WWI era or before? I understand they were first made in the late 1800's. Do you have any old straight razors?
I have quite a few from the 40's.
Several of the single edge razors are from 1912-1920 or so. They use what is essentially a rectangular box cutter blade, only the blades I have are hollow ground surgical blades made for shaving. Close to a straight razor as you can get. They may say safety razor on them, but you can take off whole patches of skin if you're not careful. Here's what they look like. I don't have any pics handy of them so I borrowed this one:
I have several straight razors, but only one that's near good enough to have sharpened and shave with. I bought it because it was made in the town I went to college at. I'd probably cut a jugular with one anyway!!
