Thread: Family Jewels

I just discovered this thread. I'll use a couple of my Shave Of The Day photos to show off my Heirlooms. About a year ago my Dad found the Long Life Straight in the garage, I believe it belonged to my Grandfather on my mothers side. It was in fantastic condition, I just gave it a little cleaning and a hone and its a fantastic shaver in my regular rotation.
Also in the first picture is a paddle strop that belonged to my Grandfather on my Dad's side (Pa). The travel strop as well as 2 of Pa's DE's and a Gem SE were recently discovered in my Dad's garage and I have shaved with all of them. The DE's are not in mint condition, but thats how Pa left them and thats what makes them irreplaceable. (Both my Grandfathers passes away in the 1980's)

Thanks

Very nice. Can I go dig around in your Dad's garage...sounds like there's all kinds of great stuff in there!

This is a strop that belonged to my grandfather and father. It is hands down my most treasured item in my shaving arsenal.

I have created a thread with a story behind the strop. Hope you enjoy.
