Thread: What does "Cull a razor" mean?

Can anybody explain what "Cull a razor" means and maybe a short explanation? Thanks and God Bless!

To cull means to separate and eliminate from a group. I assume to cull a razor is to eliminate it from a collection or set of of razors.

Can you provide any context to your question?

In general in also has a negative connotation,

ie: to destroy, throw away, kill

Doesn't have to, but I have normally heard the word used mostly with animals, and production...

"To cull the weak from the herd"

So for razors it would be to get rid of the lower quality shavers as you see them..
Ron's definition is probably more accurate though

I thought it was an advanced honing technique

I think it could be what my wife would like to do to about half of my razors.

I would like to offer my services as a professional razor culler. If you feel you have too many razors send a few of them to me. I will dispose of them properly for you.

Cull is a verb but I learned while living in Mississippi, that it is also a noun.

The thing to be culled is also called a cull.

To cull basically means to select, to choose.
If however you have too many razors: I am a professional culler extraordinaire

Sure, but it's much more exciting to cull them with a buffer.
You get a longer hang time!
