I am SO confused...

[Bill]

Please...

Can anyone explain this one (http://tinyurl.com/2bu3nd)to me?

I sent the following message to the seller...

"Hi...
I am so confused. I don't even want to know the reasons behind collecting something like this, but how in the heck did it wind up in 'straight razors'. There goes the neighborhood :D

take care... Bill"

We'll see what they say... stay tuned. In the meantime, whoever comes up with the best comedic answer to my question gets a free shave-ready razor of my choice from my inventory. One catch... there must be at least 10 responses from different people. You may enter up to 3 responses per Shave Den ID.

Maybe you use those after cutting yourself with the str8
:rofl :rofl :rofl

I have no earthly idea how they picked that category.

Or the seller has been cut with a str8 razor by someone who needed those at the time and did not get them.....thus the unopened box.:eek:

[moviemaniac]

darn, someone's straight has to cut really deep if he needs TAMPONS to stuff the wounds :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Queen of Blades]

They're hollowed out tampons.

See, if a guy is in prison, he can have his girlfriend visit him, and she can stuff a "shank" or straight razor in the hollowed out tampon. And the prison guards are none the wiser. All they will see when they check her purse are some tampons. :rofl

Styptic pencil for the new straight shaver.

I suppose if you are going to dress "retro style" you might as well go all the way with the real deal.:o

[xChris]

Come on! There is a clear and valid explanation.

These are used to obtain the smoothest, closest shave possible on the upper lip and just below the lower lip. What you do is wrap the tampon around your teeth & gums and on the inside of your lips. The stretching of the skin allows the blade to glide closer than with hand stretching.
[Anyone remember the story about the barber, a "close" shave, and a rubber ball?]

Bonus -- you get to make Marlon Brando impressions as the Godfather in your bathroom mirror.

reply: "I guess it was attracted to all the douche bags."


That leaves me with two entries left and lots of room for improvement.

[Mottern Man]

1. It is what Chuck Norris uses to shave with.

2. Gabe is selling it MINT and you know HE is right.

3. What! You can't get an edge off a tampon? You dissapoint me Bill.

"Woka Woka Woka"

[Queen of Blades]

Welcome to The Shave Den, Ryan!

And another entry for best comedic performance;

The tampons are used for transporting, shipping, or storage of straight razors.

I like my first answer better, I think.

[qhsdoitall]

Stick a double edged blade in it, shave as normal and it squeegees up the blood as you go. :D

Adapt that to a straight razor, Rich. Good one.

As part of Ebay's don't-ask-don't-tell policy I was forced to assume that it is straight.

And my last one:
I AM NOT A RAZOR EXPERT LIKE YOU I COLLECT CRIPPLE CREEK KNIVES, err I mean, TAMPONS MADE BY FAMOUSE KNIFE,oops again, TAMPON MAKER BOB CARGILL NOT A WANT TO BE LIKE YOU

Man, you suck! I don't think I like you, Ryan. :p Ok, yeah, that was real good. :o

[Bronco]

I like my first answer better, I think.

I like your first answer better too!:D

[Queen of Blades]

I like your first answer better too!:D

Is it kiss up to the Queen time already? :p

:rofl

[Bronco]

:rofl

Better hurry up and bid, wendylou may beat you out!

[Anyone remember the story about the barber, a "close" shave, and a rubber ball?]


And if you swallow the ball, just bring it back the next morning like everybody else :eek: :rofl

[Queen of Blades]

Better hurry up and bid, wendylou may beat you out!

That's alright. I don't need any straight razor tampons. :eek:

[qhsdoitall]

You're all going to get :signs089on this one. :rofl

[Bronco]

Not an entry, just a side note.
Perhaps they are reloads for the pink stinger stun gun.
Feminine hygiene goes lethal with The Pink Stinger, a stun gun creatively disguised as a tampon...except for the buttons, prods and high voltage. This weapon of mass absorption aims to target a niche market consumer, that being the tampon wielding women who desire private and discreet security in a friendly familiar package.Here (http://inventorspot.com/security_system)

Uhhhh......:eek: ....I don't know what to say. :eek:

[Bronco]

Maybe instead of "corking" your blade, you can just "tamp" it.:eek:

[jramire2]

Dear Bill,

If you'll notice for some unfortunate reason ebay does NOT have a specific "collectible feminine products" section for sellers to place ads for their highly coveted extremely rare vintage tampons. As a vintage collector of these products myself, I find this lack of a category appalling. In regards to your question, I have placed my ad in the straight razors section to genuinely cause a ruckus about this lack of a category to ebay. I encourage you and any other fellow tampon collectors to write to ebay as I have, demanding a "collectible feminine products" category to allow you to more easily find the the highly valued vintage feminine items I know you're searching for.

PS. Keep an eye out for more of my adds in the straight razor section, I'll be posting some vintage douchebags that I just know you're going to love.

warmest regards,

John Doe - DustyDouchebagsdirect.com

You toss one in the air, then swipe your straight at it.

If it cleaves the tampon in half like a scene from a John Woo flick, then you have stropped and honed your razor properly.

[coolsimon]

Darling, if your gonna borrow my straight for your bikini Line, then a styptic pencil just isnt gonna do it for a cut that big....!!!

regards,simon

[PalmettoB]

I know one thing's for sure: if the tampons ended up for sale on the straight razor page, I don't even want to know where the straight razor went...

[Bill]

Ryan's ahead so far... that's funny :laugh042


Simon... I'm tellin' Amy

[Ryan]

Did you get a response from the seller?

[Bill]

Did you get a response from the seller?Actually, he did. He said that he put it in the "other category" somewhere and ebay stuffed it into straight razors.

In the meantime if no one is interested in a shot at the free razor by being funny, Ryan will get it if there are no more entries before Sunday/midnight... my time/California.

[mrcleanhead]

"Dear Bill,

We at Ebay posed this question:

What do a straight razor and a tampon have in common?

They both draw blood.

Sincerely,
Ebay"

[bearbeard]

In the meantime if no one is interested in a shot at the free razor by being funny, Ryan will get it if there are no more entries before Sunday/midnight... my time/California.

considering where they usually get stuffed, not a bad choice!!!
come to think of it its not the where but the when....

[coolsimon]

Simon... I'm tellin' Amy

too funny Bill

[sysiphus]

My Fellow American,

STRAIGHT RAZORS? Dammit, I told Ebay I wanted it listed with the humidors. What? Tampons don't go in humidors? They go WHERE? Well then, where do cigars go? Ohhhhh! I think I just figured out why everyone was so freaked out a few years back! Thanks for the clarification.

I feel your pain,

Bill C.

[coolsimon]

consider this an ad in a newspaper or gentlemans magazine...

"For the best in absorbency and If you've got the balls to buy Modess Tampons for the woman in your life, then your ready to treat yourself to the Ultimate in Shaving,The Straight Razor, who knows maybe you'll need'em before she will"


a funny thought...simon

[bg42]

Kind regards Peter

[Bill]

Thanks for all the entries. There were some pretty good ones. I was partial to the theme...

For the straight razor shaver when a styptic pencil just won't do

But I have to give it to Ryan for post #14. That one made me laugh out loud. AND... he did some homework. So, Ryan... shoot me a PM with your address and I will send you a shave-ready razor.

[qhsdoitall]

Congratulations Ryan!

[bg42]

I guess if you shave with a str8 in the shower and drop it you'll be needing these.

[coolsimon]

Good job ryan,well done and bill thanks for the chance to win one of yours...one thing, who is Bob Cargill, not being from around these parts Im not sure who he is but the rest of it was too funny....all the best ryan.

I received an Ontario razor from Bill. It shaved tremendously. I made out quite well. No tampons were included. Thanks, Bill.
