I'm currently in the process of tracking down whatever remains of my Grandfathers' (that's both of them, not a typo) respective shaving kits. I distinctly remember my Grandfather on my mother's side having a VERY nice strop that alway hung on the outside of the bathroom door ... but nobody can recall what happened to it. I'm going to start digging into my Father's side of the family as well but I'm starting to feel a lack of "history", you might say. Getting to work with old family gear would be well worth the effort, I think.
