Do you guys ever wonder...
Do you guys ever wonder if say, 50 or 60 years from now, heck, lets say 100 so most of us will be dead or vegetables, will people similar to us look back at our stuff in such awe?
We all love Franz Swaty's barber hone, will everyone in the future want a TM strop? Will W&B's be replaced/joined by our customs? I for one, think so...
Just an interesting thought... what will it be like when our modern/custom/production is vintage.

Didn't ya hear? The world is going to end on 12/21/2012!!
All joking aside, I'm not sure how many people will look at it in awe. The way society is going diapers may be the fad and rest rooms will be the collector items.
I believe if there are people that find an interest in our gear as a usable tool the numbers will be far less than they are today.

Like 'W' told Bob Woodward. ....."Who cares, we'll be dead."
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

hah, I'm taking it with me....
Well. I have my Great-Grandfathers razor. I hope on of the relatives after me keeps maybe a razor or two...
I'll do like my Viking ancestors did with their swords, I'll bring my Livy with me to the other side...
