Whatcha waiting for? I posted pix of the tin can bank. Did I do sumthin wrong?
I guess they didn't show for me earlier. I see them now!
5/8 Geo. Wostenholm pipe razor with a horn handle. An old German DublDuck strop that still had the plastic on it and amazingly supple enough to still use., An English made Rooney badger brush and a ceramic soap mug. All old except the brush.
The mug without a handle is the oldest of the lot I think.1821 on the bottom from an old barber shop in San Francisco. Was given to me by a woman who had hitchhiked to Cali in the Great Depression to pick peas. She lived in a log cabin she built herself here in OK when she got back and lived in it until she died. RIP Daisy, you were one of a kind and you were certainly a Daisy to me.

Well @Cowbaby do you use them? Not my daily shaver, that’s my grandfather’s old Galette safety razor but I do enjoy using a straight razor now and then. Mostly during the winter which is when I grow a beard. It’s great for keeping a good straight jawline as I still shave my neck when I wear a beard.

Yes Mr. Firpro I still use a straight sometimes. I used to think it would be hard to learn to shave with one. Nope that is the easy part. Learning to sharpen one is the learning curve and I used to think I knew how to sharpen a knife. I learned real quick I was a mere babe. But as you know it has to be a day that you have time. Mostly I just use a Gillette open comb safety razor as its zip, zip and done.
Here are a pair of Frederick Reynolds 3/4 and 5/8 in the original coffins and the first safety razor Gillette ever made that did not take a special blade and started it all lying on the beige box. Open comb 3 piece that is silver plated.
