Thread: Is your razor a Girl or a Boy?

95 percent of my razors are "her", but not girl, more like women... Why 5 percent disqualify to be women I don't know.

My is a girl really unforgiving lol one worng move and she but you over her knee and show you who's boss pmsl

He or she, my razors are a bunch of tools(in the literal sense)

In Hebrew a razor is a he while a knife is a she, so go figure. If swmbo heard me refer to my razors by a female honorific there would be hell to pay! She already claims I've an affair with Vicky (what she calls my victorinox Sheff 's knife). hey, its a blade, it cuts stuff up. Who wants to get cut by a girl?

I just refer to them as Razors to save with.
why do i say at the gas station fill her up is unknown to me.

If you and your girlfriend are both in the back seat, it might be appropriate.

IIRC most things in the Spanish language are known by gender, La or Le , so someone needs to check their Spanish capabilities and see how the word razor is used in the Spanish language. I would help out here but most of the Spanish words I know are menu items.

I don't strop boys, nor do I put them to my face.

Kind of narrows it down a bit, ya think.

According to my father, my grandfather would put a strop to a boys butt if needed.

LOL! I thought this topic would bomb... AWESOME! I just got done crushing a 12 hour (unplanned) day at work and needed a laugh and a couple things to think about on the drive home!

I speak Spanish pretty well but there are a few words: Navaja which would be feminine I'm pretty sure... Razor which should be masculine... Then Cuchillo which I think is also masculine. Someone could probably clear that right up for certain but that is what I'm thinking. I think Razor (Rah-Zore) is the common and the others are modifiers like if you are saying Electric Razor.

Razors for me certainly seem more like tools but straight razor shaving is a lot more personally intimate, like a dance, kata or yoga progression so maybe more female. ?!

I guess I've both confused and enlightened myself... Or, maybe it's just fatigue!

Absolutely, it was easier than removing a belt. My father kept a separate belt hanging on a hook, on the wall, for such times.
