Good evening shaving fiends

A.P Wire Service-Grants, New Mexico. The New Mexico State Police report the strange death of Eunice La Fong at the New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility at Grants, New Mexico.

La Fong had been convicted in the death of her husband Homer and was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment in Nevada but was moved to New Mexico two years ago. The sensational case revolved around the Sparks, Nevada couple and a mysterious straight razor. It seems Eunice called local authorities to report, while Homer was shaving with his Traditional Japanese Straight Razor it just seemed to come to life and cut his throat resulting in his demise.

Subsequent investigation revealed it had belonged to a Japanese Kamikaze pilot who was killed during a mission and he had shaved with that razor before departing on that mission. It was suspected the razor was haunted. However, local authorities received a tip from a dealer in antiquities in Hokkaido, Japan alleging he had sold the razor to La Fong with the express warning about its history and other strange occurrences surrounding it in Japan. Apparently La Fong had taken out a multimillion dollar insurance policy on Homer prior to his death and just waited for the razor to do its job. Unfortunately the original dealer heard about the incident and tried to blackmail La Fong for an undisclosed amount of cash. La Fong refused and he fingered her in the crime.

Under intense interrogation she finally admitted to the plot and was found guilty and sentenced to the 40 year term.

Since the trial, the razor which was in the custody of local authorities had disappeared and has been traced to some little known internet straight razor site called “SRP” where it is suspected to have been used in some razor pass around ritual by this cult of fiends. Sources at Gillette the world authority on men’s shaving said, “after all who in this day and age would use something like a straight razor other than a bunch of weirdoes and misanthropes”.

New Mexico Authorities investigating the death of La Fong stated she was found by fellow inmates in the prison shower in a pool of blood with a Japanese Razor sticking out of her neck. However, when the authorities arrived the razor was gone. Fellow inmates report for weeks before the incident late at night a strange shadowy figure identified as a young man in a WW ll Japanese aviators uniform wandered the corridors asking where his razor was. Inmates who found La Fong said she had a ribbon with Japanese Script on it tied around her head and a small glass of sake, (a traditional Japanese rice wine) was found near her body.
Authorities are continuing to investigate.

The shaving brainbuster for this week asks the question, 1-who honed that mysterious razor and who do you think now has it? Also #2, how would you hone a haunted razor?

The first person to come up with a logical answer to this last question #2 will win a prize.

I would ship it to lynn to have a "killer edge" put on it.

With a bout.

Well being the Biologist that I am, there is no "logical" way to hone a haunted razor. You see, in order to use logic you must deal with problems that exist in the natural world. A haunted razor that needs to be honed would be of the "supernatural" world and therefore the only way to hone such a blade would be through "Faith" since there is no way to actually prove or disprove the the blade is indeed haunted. Thus I would hone the razor through faith.

I would hone the razor with a haunted stone in haunted house.

Good answers. Keep them coming. The true answer is really very simple though.

The same way I would hone any other razor. Honing the razor wasn't the kicker, it was shaving with it. Shaving with a haunted razor is another can of worms, I assume.

And, for the record, I think that MAX has it.

Japanese Razor = Japanese Water Hone ???

A haunted razor being of the status of haunted is supernatural so it doesn't need any honing it's always as sharp as can be. If you put it to a hone it would destroy it. If it was a haunted hone? I don't know it would probably depend which was the stronger ju-ju. Har Har.


So who won the prize? Well Josh was really on his way there but he brought faith into it and if anything it's more in the realm of evil so unless your a devil worshipper that wouldn't work. McKie had the obvious simple answer, too bad it was incorrect.

So it looks like the prize will go up again with next weeks brainbuster.

If anyone wants to file a motion to reconsider I'll entertain them otherwise tune in this weekend for the next brainbuster.

I'd like to motion to reconsider!

I believe you took my response out of the context I was referencing. I believe you took my response of honing the razor through "faith" to refer to a religious context, hence why you thwarted my answer and proclaimed if anything it would reside in the realm of evil...

I however was making reference to "faith" by its literal definition of the noun that we in the science fields often deal with, and that merely...

faith –noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing (Dictionary.com | Find the Meanings and Definitions of Words at Dictionary.com)

So you see, I was actually saying that there is no such way to hone a razor of this nature... rather that you merely needed to have confidence and trust in the blade that it was indeed sharp.

That is my motion for reconsider

Cheers,

Josh
