There is a thread on another forum where I said pretty much the same thing.... The largest W&B I ever owned was a couple FBU 8/8
You have a good memory Mike. I did say that and meant it ..... at the time. I was selling my stuff on ebay and asked my buddy JB Horen to check out the descriptions and photos. That got him interested in wet shaving and he began perusing the forums. He told me he was going to get a straight razor and begin shaving with it. I told him that it was an inferior way to shave and not to waste his time.

Next thing I knew he was getting old straights and some old Gillettes and that got me interested all over again. So I began looking at the forums and shaving with old 3 piece DEs. Then I discoverd the slant and was off to the races so to speak. Been a helluva ride.
