Oh yeah-
For some reason I find this tune to be REALLY good. I didn't like it at first but now it's the first tune that comes out when I pick up my fiddle. I think everyone should learn more L.E. McCullough tunes.

L.E.'s notes on the tune
Here's L.E.'s notes on the song:
I can't name real names here, but Not Safe with a Razor derives from a
night at an especially gruesome honky tonk outside Houston, Texas, when
one of our band members we'll call 'Jean-Pierre' exhibited an extreme
infatuation toward a female patron possessing six-inch black stilleto
nails, breath that could scorch paint at ten feet, and enough tattoos to
cover a circus tent. "What do you think?" he whispered to Tiny, the
six-foot-eight-inch, 300-pound, glass-eyed bouncer, as we packed up for
the evening. "Should I go for it?" "Well, son," said Tiny, calmly
caressing the sawed-off pool cue in his belt, "there's two kinds of
women down here in Texas. One kind is the girl you'd take home to see
your momma.... sweet, gentle, trust her with your last penny and know
she'll be there for you come hell or high water." "And the other
kind?" "The other kind, is what you call 'not safe with a razor.' And,
son, you look like you bleed awful easy."
