New Masonic straights

Are you talking about the ones on flea bay? They're intriguing but I'm thinking they are just modern junk.
I've only seen them online so I could be wrong.

Yeah, looks like a total scam to prey on folk.
There's a gent on B&B with a real deal Masonic wedge. It's amongst the coolest razors around.
I'd like to hear from someone who's held a new one, too. I wonder if it's just a cool letter opener.

This gave me quite a chuckle... Why didn't he just show it shaving hair?

Looks ideal for cutting up paper - he literally flew through that sheet of A4.

It had trouble initiating a paper cut in that vid
I only watched it a moment then I was distracted by the "Self Defence Tactical Pen with Cheek Crusher" video.
Now I don't know what a Cheek Crusher is or how this pen is tactical or could be used in self defence (other than to poke someone in the eye) but the name just sold it to me!
Also love the Ridge Runner Antique Gun Knife.

I found some cool Masonic etchings (the compass, a crescent moon with stars around it, a 5-pointed star, and some other undecipherable thing) on a Packwood when I started polishing the blade. The etching is really faint (I tried getting a picture to post, but can't get the lighting angle right with my iPhone), but it was a cool discovery that you couldn't see until some of the patina was removed.
I don't know anything about the new Masonic straights, but I have a vintage one on the way! 
I've got a vintage Rotring fountain pen/pencil set that I carry at work for emergency use (I work at a prison) & I have no doubt whatsoever that I could use it as a kubaton as well as a fairly efficient tool to make a nice puncture wound!

I have this one which is pretty worn:
Haven't got around to test-shave it yet, but I finished setting the bevel a few weeks ago and now just have to do the whole progression.

Why does he say Masonic so weird?
I didn't know it was pronounced masey-onic
I noticed the "massey-onic" as well. Plus, did you know that being over 10 inches tip to tip helps you hold the razor if you have large hands?

There's quite a few out there. I've owned two without even trying to collect them. Keep your eyes on eBay, they come up. W&B made TONS.
Reminds me of the guy who says tortoise like "tor-toys"

Hahaha thanks for pointing that out, I'm one of these guys!! Always thought it was pronounced this way! English is not my first language so that's my excuse
