I was pretty active several years ago, loved my straight razors, and had a great collection of stones. Gave it up, gave my stuff to my son and carried on with a boring modern razor. Well, as anyone that has been exposed to greatness, I eventually started to miss everything involved in wet shaving. Not being an Indian giver, I was not going to ask my son for any of the stuff I gave him back, and, he is really using it.
So I have ordered some nice razors, got some cheepos to practice on, got a new strop, and have ordered a nice coticule and Belgium blue from Howard. I still have a DMT for setting bevels. What am I missing? My Escher. I can't find one either. Used to be, if you had the money, you could find an Escher. Now they are either too small, or just unfindable. I would be happy with one say, six inches by 1.5 wide. Can't find them. Keep missing them in classifieds or Ebay, and not many there. Is there someplace that actually has some for sale? I can go up to 400 bucks for the right one. Directions anyone? It seems like all my contacts have dried up, or blown away since a few years ago. I would appreciate some help here. Thanks.
