With almost everything these days being disposable and made from plastic I decided to find some old containers and make use of these for our entertainment. I love to 'tinker' and the idea of fixing something and keeping it going for just a little longer makes me smile. So to use some of these old examples of 'tin' cans in the aid of fun hopefully will bring a smile to your face, at least it'll bring a 'smilie' to your profile.

Happy travelling.

How the "Mohican" Scores

The expense of buying new blades and the trouble of shaving with dull ones is completely obviated by adapting a finely-tempered hollow-ground blade to the safety arrangement. Thus the first expense is the last when you buy a "Mohican" Safety Razor. The blade is stropped like an ordinary razor, and your beard is easily and comfortably removed.

The "Mohican" blade is genuine hollow ground, finely tempered, and fits into a plated holder which allows you to shave closely, without any risk of cutting yourself. A stropping attachment is included, and enables you to keep the blade in perfect condition, ensuring a velvet shave every time.
