I am SO confused...

Discussion in 'Straight Razors' started by Bill, Jun 17, 2007.

    Please...

    Can anyone explain this one to me?

    I sent the following message to the seller...

    "Hi...
    I am so confused. I don't even want to know the reasons behind collecting something like this, but how in the heck did it wind up in 'straight razors'. There goes the neighborhood :D

    take care... Bill"


    We'll see what they say... stay tuned. In the meantime, whoever comes up with the best comedic answer to my question gets a free shave-ready razor of my choice from my inventory. One catch... there must be at least 10 responses from different people. You may enter up to 3 responses per Shave Den ID.

    Maybe you use those after cutting yourself with the str8
    :rofl :rofl :rofl

    I have no earthly idea how they picked that category.

    Or the seller has been cut with a str8 razor by someone who needed those at the time and did not get them.....thus the unopened box.:eek:

    They're hollowed out tampons.

    See, if a guy is in prison, he can have his girlfriend visit him, and she can stuff a "shank" or straight razor in the hollowed out tampon. And the prison guards are none the wiser. All they will see when they check her purse are some tampons. :rofl

    I suppose if you are going to dress "retro style" you might as well go all the way with the real deal.:o

    Come on! There is a clear and valid explanation.

    These are used to obtain the smoothest, closest shave possible on the upper lip and just below the lower lip. What you do is wrap the tampon around your teeth & gums and on the inside of your lips. The stretching of the skin allows the blade to glide closer than with hand stretching.
    [Anyone remember the story about the barber, a "close" shave, and a rubber ball?]

    Bonus -- you get to make Marlon Brando impressions as the Godfather in your bathroom mirror.

    reply: "I guess it was attracted to all the douche bags."


    That leaves me with two entries left and lots of room for improvement.

    1. It is what Chuck Norris uses to shave with.

    2. Gabe is selling it MINT and you know HE is right.

    3. What! You can't get an edge off a tampon? You dissapoint me Bill.

    Welcome to The Shave Den, Ryan!

    And another entry for best comedic performance;

    The tampons are used for transporting, shipping, or storage of straight razors.

    I like my first answer better, I think.

    Stick a double edged blade in it, shave as normal and it squeegees up the blood as you go. :D

    As part of Ebay's don't-ask-don't-tell policy I was forced to assume that it is straight.
