Welcome to SRP. Were you a straight razor grinder by chance ? Shave with them in the past or now ? Love to hear some of your experience.

Glad to have you aboard..it is great that the family business carries on.
Maybe they will join these forums as well..maybe even get to see some samples of the work they do.

Welcome to the forum. We are honored to have you join us. I hope 1939 to 1946 was not too terrible a time for you but I fear that it may have been.
