My 1$ Chicken Soup Mug and Badger Hair Brush. Used with a glycerine soap now, but im experimenting.

My straights went out to to forum member gsixgun for a custom restore, so no pix yet, but im excited to be a part of such an awesome forum like this. Getting a scuddle and an SRD strop soon. Happy Shaves guys! - Mario

From what part of central CA do you hail? There are a few of us here...

Bakersfield. So i think im about two hours away from you.

Split the difference...I'm actually in Visalia so I'm just over an hour away!:)

Ahhh even better. I love Visalia. Ever been to Howie & Son's pizza right there on S. Mooney?

Yep, I've been there, but it was MANY moons ago....decades in fact.

We've got some razor honey-holes around these parts if you're ever in this part of the woods...you know, the kind of antique stores that brings out piles of razors for you to look at

Haha i didnt know thats what they were called, but im definitely interested to know where these places are.
