Get a Clean Shave for $2,200 with the Mammoth Tusk

Last year, The Straight Dope dug up an 1872 New York Times item reporting that French adventurers trying for the North Pole claimed to have found so many well-preserved mammoth specimens in Russia that for a time they "lived entirely on mammoth meat, broiled, roasted and baked."

 

We're a bit skeptical of that tall tale, but there is a new human use for this long-extinct beast: straight razors with a handle fashioned from mammoth tusk. The limited-edition razor -- made with the 10,000-year-old incisors -- comes from the FSC Barbershop and will set you back $2,200 for the narrow size. You can get it engraved with scrimshaw-style lettering for $25 per letter and, best of all, every tusk has an embedded lens which displays a very small image of vintage erotica.

 

Pick up the badger-tail shaving brush from the Art Of Shaving ($250) and get that woolly mammoth off your face.

For the person who has everything........

Woo-hoo! Vintage erotica!

Woo-hoo! Vintage erotica!

 

Ooo, is that an ankle?

Unless it comes as a stereoscopic slide, I want nothing to do with it. The erotica, that is.
