The Walrus at work Help: Meaning of a few Drunken Sailor verses (39) RE: Help: Meaning of a few Drunken Sailor verses 18 Apr 02


The only "hoop iron" I know of is a 1930's building technique (rapidly abandoned), however, could a "hoop iron razor" merely be a name for the sharpened edge of the iron hoop of a broken cask? It would be of poor quality for a blade unable to hold an edge, with no "body" behind it (anyone who has tried using an open razor will understand0 and will blunt rapidy - not good in a razor.

Regards

Walrus.
