Anyone from Minneapolis/Saint Paul?

How much were the Fromms at Marvy? I've never shaved with one, but after googling them I'm intrigued. A $39 3 pin Solingen blade HERE

I'm intrigued.

I wasn't there for razors that day, but I seem to remember they were under $70 maybe much under. I just don't remember the exact price.

Hey guys, I just came home.

I asked Roger Hess about the razors ChrisL referred to and he said "Dovo". End of that story. The father of Roger Hess would probably know the history of the manufacturers or be able to look it up.
I should do that before he is gone.

Hess sells Badger & Boar hair brushes and some others. One of our guys, Dresden, picked up an unusual one from them recently. Hess also sells a full line of Barber supplies as does Marvy. When I checked at Marvy a few years ago they were selling Fromm razors. Bruce knows more about them than I do.

Hey! If your close to Hess then your close to me. I am sending you a PM with my phone number. Gimme a call and stop over anytime.

Great thread guys. I'm moving to Minneapolis in a few weeks and was wondering what I had to work with. I'm leaving Chicago and some great shopping in favor of a quieter family life.

Welcome to the Minnesota group! I am sending you a PM also.

WOOHOO! Looks like we need to have another MInnesota get together!

Man you city guys have all the stuff. I'm stuck out in the boonies making soap from sheep parts and leftover campfires, and have to sharpen old tractor parts to shave with...

Hey Mike,

What's the Rockwell hardness on old tractor parts? I've got an old John Deere that is not wanting to start and might consider turning it into about 87,000 razors if the Rc is up to snuff.

Before you part out those sheep you may want to squeeze their hair for some of that wool fat that Mitchell thinks is so swell. Just a suggestion...

Would roadkill and cigarette butts work??

Well, I'm in MSP this week for work and to find a place to live. I just heard about a place called Heimie's Haberdashery. Does anyone know anything about them? It sounds like the sell the T&H line, but I'm interested in the shave quality. I've never had a professional shave and would love to experience it.

forgot the link.
