Hi, my name is Rick. My last razor purchase was more than a week ago! But then my last two straights were from family members passing stuff my way. I'm trying to not go buy those half dozen Gillette DE's I saw {only $12 each}. My new purchasing has slowed so I can get into replacing scales on straights. I got brass rod, washers, an anvil. Still need a 4oz. hammer. Oh, scales? Band saw I saw at the pawn shop...I'll get back with ya later.
