did you go as these characters? are there any pics? tia

Are you asking me? No, we didn't go as them last year. We plan on going as Sweeney & Lovett this year.

They are now available on Amazon!

I'd really rather not pay $90 for two straight razors. Plus, someone told me those were indeed real razors. I'm looking for something fake, as most parties don't take bringing real weaponry too kindly. Thanks for the suggesion, though.

There are combs that look like straight razors. That would be a good gag.

So many home haunting ideas and yet so little time.

We are doing Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett as well. I bought an antique straight razor at an antique/collectibles mall for $4.00. Dremeled down the blade (I did have to go down quite a bit) for safety.
We'll be serving meat pies at the Halloween party, as well as doing a murder mystery game. We've also memorized the "Try the Priest" song - whether we'll have the guts to perform it is another matter...

I have seen the razor combs onleine. Its a possibility. I'd really rather use a "real" straight razor though.


ChrisW...Is there a way to dull the razor without using a grinder? I don't have one & I'd rather not buy one just for this. My wife will definitely be toting meat pies of some sort, we're just not sure what angle we're gonna go with yet.

I imagine you could dull it on a coarse stone, but it was just faster to use the grinding wheel on the dremel. The blade is so thin that it took a bit to get it to where I thought it was safe.

Hi there. I'm Little Todd, brand new here. I read your problem, and I have a suggestion. It's probably a bit higher than you'd like, but at least worth looking into. They sell replicas of the razors from the movie on EntertainmentEarth.com They're 47.99, I believe. Very cool. Hope this helps.

I found something as well it's £18.00 $35.00 I assume shipping is extra I haven't ever seen one in person tho so if anyone gets one post pics.
