From the looks of the state of that finger, I suspect the person has a poblem but rather than use razor blades they are using atta soldiers.

Re: Not sure I really get this!?
Just had an idea. On the basis that the South American natives use the removed head of a soldier Atta for stitches and have a row of them to close a wound, I think, Raj, you've just inspired me with your comment. So basically get around a dozen live soldier atta and tie them to a straight stick, orientating their jaws the same way. The attach a handle at 90 degrees forming a T shape, You have created yourself a bush razor, simply glide it across your face and the action of the opening and closing Atta jaws will remove any sticky out bits that your new gizmo encounters. Unfortunately that may include skin, nose, lips. But if you get that right you could find yourself standing at a stall selling these next to native grandma selling roasted atta queens. BTW, for extra heavy growth, at certain times of the year, the Queen razor, made predictably from the struggling bodies of Atta queens(clues in the name!) could sell at a premium.Sounds like something Sean or John could sell and Richard could keep the books!
