About three years ago I was at a quilt show in New Hampshire when I found this "new" kind of seam ripper.
The woman at the booth demonstrated how it worked and I thought it was pretty clever. As I am chronically incapable of passing up a cool sewing thingie, I handed over about $5 (I think) and snapped it up.
Fast forward to yesterday when I was in one of those beauty supply shops looking for some super-serious ginormo hair clips. (My plan to grow out my hair has had a head-on collision with summer heat. If I don't get it off my neck I'm going to shave my head.). I was debating the purchase of a good pair of scissors (see paragraph above) when I saw these:
You guessed it. Exactly the same thing. This 3-pack was about the same as I paid for one of them in New Hampshire. Who knew? Now you ALL do.
PS - So these are facial razors? I have no idea how this kind of thing would be used, am I missing something here? Come to think of it, 98% of the stuff in those beauty supply stores looks like they require entirely too much work, effort and maintenance. However, when they can be pressed in to service as a quilting notion......
So many "new" notions are like that!! Gypsy Gripper? rip off of bath tub grips for the elderly,
