My in-laws were in for a visit over Memorial Day, and I was showing off my razor and strop and telling them excitedly about my new involvement in straight razor shaving. My mother-in-law told me that she has her dad's old straight and his old strop packed away in her closet. He died almost sixty-five years ago, so we are talking vintage stuff. We are going to see them next week, and she said she would love for me to have them. I have no idea what kind of razor, and I probably won't use it to shave, but I will display them. I was thrilled to find a family heirloom that no one even realized we had!

Anyone else have any good family finds that surprised them?
