    Default Super Freak.....

    Active listing description from ebay .
    This is some macabre stuff..wonder who the target buyer is ?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have here Two different style of razors
    1: Gillette Safety Razor Black tip
    2: Gillette Double Sided Razor

    The Story i was told by my grandfather was that these two razors belonged to Mortuary Artist in Arizona, for those who are not familiar with this career, it is a career in making the Dead look presentable to their loved ones. He found them while doing some wood work when the business closed down. Pretty Freaky to imagine that these razors shaved many dead peoples and now they are in my hands........

    That's the one that prompted this thread:

    But posting even the description is apparently disallowed, since it got entirely mod'ed out of my original post.

    Wow, that's a creepy back story. They would be ok to have, but I wouldn't use them. Who knows, a few of the razors we're using today could have been used to shave dead people. What you don't know....

    I am 99% certain that whoever originally owned my 1906 single ring is now dead. So, I know it's shaved a dead person. He may not have been dead when he used it, but if he were, the Barbicide took care of it.

    Huh, I thought only live links were not allowed. Of which I did not post. I don't believe the info in the description would even lead to the link via eBay search ?
    Even the search term "razor" will not get you there.
    I have seen photos from within live links posted without any intervention. I certainly hope nobody in here would want to shave with these ?!?!
    I just thought that this was way to Macabre to me.....I just can't fathom who the target buyer would be for this, wow.
    I did not see the other thread or would not have mentioned it here.
    Thanks for the 411
