Razor personalities (a stupid thread, on purpose)

Something @chevyguy said in another thread got this idea going but don't ask me why, it's not his fault. When I think of the Red Tip in terms of what kind of person it'd be if it were a person, I picture an average working guy. He's not huge but he's beefy and pretty strong. He doesn't get along with everyone but he's pleasant enough to work with when you meet him on his terms, so he can be relied upon to do a decent job. Kind of a local mechanic with a strong reputation, the guy everyone else recommends when you need service, but also is occasionally said to be be a jerk by people who don't know him.

If you had to pin a personality on various razors, what would you come up with? (like I said, stupid...but maybe fun...)

Old SEs remind me of the older guy in westerns, the guy who is always the foreman of some crew. He's quiet and tends to keep to himself, always a little sad, like he's longing for days gone by. He looks worn out, washed out and tired but can still keep up with all the hands. The younger, flashier dudes rib him, a little, for being old but he knows his job and they know it. Plus, he can be mean, even brutal, when one of them gets careless. The owner relies on him, all the hands respect him, nobody messes with him.

 

Lol! According to SWMBO, you just described me perfectly!

 

will have to give this some thought ,cool thread..

 

Ah, but what kind of handle does this gent use? Stock plastic? High end silver plate?

 

very cool sir, you are a natural ..

 

The British Aristocrat..(this is a parody) ..i can imagine a figure like in the Python's "Upper Class Twit of the Year" sketch..smoothest upper lip because it is so up in the air one could shave it with a broadaxe ..red smoking jacket and a drink in his hand..gets a smooth shave because his valet does it for him..to be continued..

Waiting for someone to do the humble base model Tech...

 

Tech: Fella is a 46 year old clerk at CVS. Lives in his old room, takes care of his widowed mother. He collects old typewriters. Every Sunday he takes Mom to church.

 

It's hard to decide which of your excellent posts I like best, but I think this one takes it.

 

I knew this guy. Only it was the Econ Dept.

 

Charlie - I'm confused. I don't know many accountants who ended up with the cheerleader. Did I miss something in this guy's history, or are you just modeling this story against the improbable, but real-life story of @clint64?

 

My Fatip Grande MK1 Version 1 (whatever). The super macho guy that free-climbs sheer rock face cliffs on the weekend and really looks the part with superb style and classic lines to his profile. And everyone you know talks about how smooooooth he is and how effective and efficient he is. Somewhat of an Old Type, not very Technical at all, his aggressive behaviour is what makes him a "take charge" kind of guy that always "gits 'er done" with almost no effort, and how could anyone not think he was just the greatest ever. In reality, he's a boorish unrefined bully that has a poor tolerance for anything less than perfect attendance and leaves many folks red-faced who've had anything to do with him. Once I've had a visit with him, I can't stand to be near him for days. I've tried to like him, but he just rubs me the wrong way I guess.

 

Chinese plastic Super Speed knockoff at Dollar Tree:

A down on his luck guy. He's not a bum but most would dismiss him as one at a glance. If you look closer, though, you can see he's tried his best to dress himself up with the meager means available to him...fairly clean, hair long but combed, clothes used and mismatched but neat. Yes, he's got his issues but he wants a chance to work...maybe only for a week or so before he gives out, but he will do a fair job while he's around. Or he might surprise you and stick with it indefinitely, you just can't know.
