Thread: Some things you'll have to pry out of my hands

• Butcher Brothers 6/8 half hollow round tip. Such a smooth razor, my #1 shaver.
• Packwood from approx 1815.
• Hogg & Jameson french point near wedge with ivory scales. Pre 1867

My favorite stuff so far:

Merkur 37C Slant
Georgetown Pottery G20 scuttle
Mystic Water Adirondack Jack soap
Cade soap
Martin de Candre soap
Tabac soap
Mike's Natural Cedar & Pine Soap
Nancy Boy Replentishing and Blossomwood creams
D.R. Harris Windsor cream
Thayer's Original Aloe Vera Toner
Art of Shaving Sandalwood balm
Castle Forbes Cedar & Sandalwood balm
Nancy Boy Blossomwood balm

I'm not the sentimental type, when I go all my stuff have to fend for it self.
If I go before the cats I obviously want them to be cared for.

One little thing sort of creeps me out tho, some parts of me is already buried in the cemetery, the hospital got some strange policy that all human remains go there.

Please elaborate! My imagination is running wild.

Ok, one is a wild cat I adopted, the other is a Devon Rex, both totally crazy!
They would both be put to sleep if I wouldn't have taken them home, they were a bit of a handful in the beginning but now they're lovely girls!

I know...
Well I've had some extensive services when they replaced joints, body parts and such.
More metal in me now than in a modern handgun, some metal and ceramics put in by the surgeons, some put in by "accident", actually got problem with stuff coming up to the surface on my right cheek, small pieces of bone and metal, if's not good for my razors!
Anyway, I think they could have just burned and trashed everything old, not bury it, I'm not dead yet!

I started collecting DDs and after the first 7 I told myself I was going to cull out the less than perfect ones as I found better. Now I have 14 and I am thinking after 30 I may start culling. I have 5 DD brushes and the same story applies. I put a new knot in 1 and like one just the way it is. The other 3 will get new knots some day. A NOS DD hone that will never be wet.
I have a WB, J Rogers smiler,GeorgeW, GJohnson and an N.Mills (1700 something) that I am trying to bring back to life. I bought all of these razors for me and as long as there is a me, they will be mine. After that you may see them at a garage sale mixed in with a pile of other tools that are a part of me and who I am.

Then there is this box of work. It is slowly disappearing to friends who wish to try the Straight way.


Lemur.. I have a bengal cat that you can have if I go anytime soon. He is noisy sometimes but you'll learn what he is saying :<0) .

I love Bengals, a friend of mine got a couple of them, always doing things they shouldn't!
No problem with the cat talk, I know exactly what these little girls want when they tell me, funny how easy it is once you start to really listen to them.
Sorry for all this off topic...
On topic, I love my razors and hones and would hate to see any of them go but still it's just stuff, I can get new ones!
