Thread: Does anyone ever wonder............?

I recognize this kind of sentiments, Welshwizard. Shaving with an old and battered vintage razor always holds a encounter with history for me. Unfortunately, I don't know the previous owners of any of my razors, so I have to help myself with more general meandering historical thoughts. One of my friends has the fortune of shaving with razors previously owned by his great grandfather and other ancestors. He also has a fine tradition in his family for story-telling, and he can relive those stories, told to him when he was a boy, each time he shaves. I envy him for that.

I am fond of history, and of tools that connect us with it.
Without a history we have no identity, and ultimately, no civilization.

Best regards,
Bart.
