    Default Well I'm back

    Thanks to Bruno and the facebook page I am back. Not sure how active I will be, but I may have something to say from time to time. And possibly a razor for sale from time to time. Anyway, greetings from the cornpatch. My name is Howard Clark. I have been a full time bladesmith for 26 years now, and made more than a couple of razors that are used regularly. I have been shaving with straight razors for about 25 years, mostly antiques, but some I have made also. Glad to be able to paryicipate again. Thanks Bruno!

    2008 was a good year.
    Welcome back.

    26 years? and you have made some razors also? I should not be surprised given your skills.
    It is good to see you come back. The last time I met you was in Iowa City at Rons (Utopians) Razor Meet with Mike Blue. The first time was at a blacksmith meetup in Hastings, MN when you were demonstrating (in a kilt! ), the making of some pattern welded Damascus and I purchased some 52100 steel bars from you.
    Please post some pics of your various blades when you have time.
    If you ever have a class please let me know.

    I second what Randy said. Welcome back and PLEASE do let us know if you hold any type of class. Hell, if you just need a flunky to hang out in your shop to sweep up metal shavings, let me know!
