Thank you!

Or pants that come somewhere in the vicinity of your waist!

Alas, oh so true!

You know you're a geezer when..................................you wonder why that AARP magazine isn't in large print.

Looks like I was a geezer at about age 40.

You know you're a geezer when...

Not only do you know what this is, but you own and have used one...

 

[craig333]

Thankfully I have no idea what that is. I'm guessing its food related.

Nope, not food related...

 

[Alley-Kat]

I have no idea... glad to know I'm not that old!
I do know that I don't think I'm going to sit on it.

yup, I guess I'm not a geezer after all.................................................

Alley-Kat, you've got a couple months on me, I'm surprised you don't recognize it. Mr. 3pin, you're a history buff, I'm shocked you don't know.

A hint... It's mostly for guys, but a few of the ladies might of used it as well.

 

[Alley-Kat]

Well, I'm glad you're only "surprised".

Even if I had lived in the old west of 1880's, I think I'd still prefer to use the therapeutic papers than that thing.

 

[takesiteasy]

I can see how it works but I have no idea what it is for. Glad to hear I'm not a geezer either.

Hmmmmm, therapeutic papers.... Nope no connection to that in any form, but it is hygiene related.

I'm going to hazard a guess. I used to have a similar device, handed down from my dad:

It's a safety razor blade strop; used to sharpen the blade before shaving.

Never used it but I remember hearing my dad turning the crank in the morning. Only used a safety razor a few times.



Sorry, this is the only picture I could find of it. Doesn't show much.

If I didn't use it am I still a geezer?

[Wandering Sagebrush]

Ding, ding ding... We have a winner!!!!! Jim, you got it!

Remember the old Gillette Blue Blades that went in the double edged safety razor. This one was my grandfather's.

And no, it doesn't make you a geezer unless you want to be a geezer
