Thread: Hello from Texas!

Hello y'all new to the forums but not to straight razors. I've seen the light and after DE shaving I decided to conquer the art of straight razors. They conquered me before I figured out it wasn't about conquering but working in harmony with the blade. I'm happy to be here and look forward to gleaning a ton of great information especially as I explore restoration and a better understanding of the various makers and blades. Attached are a few of my favorite blades.

Cs315,

As the only official, UN-official, certified razor evaluation and disposal expert on SRP I deem those razors to be bellow our standards of excellence and suggest that you send them my way for proper disposal. Oh, and by the way, welcome

Hey Chris,

Yeah, love the Mustangs. The red one is an 09 Shelby GT 500, better pic here post 905..... http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...ml#post1161616

Also had an 07 Shelby GT, white...thought I had a pic here, guess not.

Post a pic of the ponies if you get a chance.

Howard

Well I tried, lol! Guess I need to let the flock head South for the winter a little ahead of time. Thanks for the kind welcome!

Boo it won't let me access the pic link. I'll work to get Pony pics up shortly. :-). Love the Ponies and the Ducks. Guess I'm an animal lover?

May need to send these off too with the Ducks [emoji4].

Chris,

Love the 66!! The vert is nice, but I'm old school. In 1964-5 a local Ford dealer sent about 5 or 6 of us, 17/18 year olds down to Waco, TX. He had purchased that many Mustangs from a dealer there and sent us to drive them back. I claimed and hovered over a burgundy Fastback and got to drive it back....... It was a first gen. Mustang and I sure wish I had it now. Never lost my passion for them!!

Nice Ponies!!

Howard

First gen Ponies are the best in my book, the 90 fell into my lap. She's got 12k on the clock and a multiple gold winner with MCA. She was in the Grand National up in mustang two years ago. Heck I even like the 74-78s. I have to admit the 66 is a heck of a car to drive, just motor, gears and grease no computers and such, I really like just driving it down the road.
