Thread: Is your razor a Girl or a Boy?

I dunno know. The worst thing I remember hearing when I was a kid was the zing sound my dad's belt made as it zipped through the belt loops. Turn your heart to crap in an instant.

I remember that sound, but there were 3 of us kids in the family. I stood a 1 in 3 chance of being the receiver. Not too bad odds.

Only two of us boys and I was the eldest, my odds were slightly above the 50% mark.

That wasn't good.

Mine are usually an 'it' until something either really good happens like a really nice shave then it's a she because she's a beauty , or until something really bad happens like I cut myself. In that case I guess they become a bit of a Hermaphrodite as depending on my mood it's either a b@$t*rd or a b!t*h. Then I feel sad, it's not the razor's fault I cut myself with it. lol

I had to go get my pop's strop from it's hook and bring it to him. Sometimes I think the anticipation during my trek was worse than the actual blow.

My father tells me that my grandfather did this too. They buried his strop in the huge backyard one day to stop it, he says it was a shame now because it was apparently a really good strop!!

i have never referred to any shaving apparatus as a "she" or a "he". i guess usually use the possessive adjective such as "my razor", "my brush", and if i have to, i use the pronoun "it".

Hey Spike!

Here Boy, wanna shave?!

-pulls out strop-

-Spike get's excited and runs in circles-

Good boy Spike! Let's shave!

I joke. My cars are all ladies. The ebony spike is just a nice razor. Honestly, Spike is just an 'it' to me so far. We'll see if it has a gender. I'm still a noob and don't know how to check!
