Have you ever tried to sharpen a razor blade with it? I’m 66, and never used a double edged razor…

I have a lot of straight razors, but have never tried to use a marble-sharpener on it. May need to try it out.

Got this baby in the mail today, only one that bid on it. Guy called it a ‘Slammer’ marble . . .

Definitely a good looking marble. I haven't heard of a "slammer" either, maybe the seller was referring to its size? How big is it?

@Ric I’m thinking you’re right. The marble is 1 in. Has to be size he was referring to only thing I can think of?

I lucked out yesterday. Gambled on three jars of mibs in an online estate auction that you couldn’t see. Two of the jars were crap but, the third bore fruit. $60 bucks all in with shipping. No idea what these are worth but, think I at least got my monies worth.
