Never heard of them.
I hear he had a penchant for ladies of a certain persusion and never went to sunday meeting. Might just be idle gossip, though...
He was also into ........ SEWING, QUILTING, and KNITTING?????Quote:

AWESOME!! Since you have thrown down the gauntlet, I ACCEPT!!
I believe it customary that I choose weapons.
I choose, HOT AIR BALLOONS AND WATER PISTOLS at 2 thousand yards at a location to be mutually agreed upon, at 1400hrs on the 5th Saturday of Feb, Year of Our Lord 2015.
HARRUMPH!!

I was asking a sincere question, just wanting to learn something and "This" is what I get? How "DARE" you people disrupt my thread in such a rude manner!!! It's 'my' thread and you didn't even invite 'me'? Just for that, I'm gonna sight in my long range weapon for thousand yard shots. "YOU'LL GET YOURS, YOU'LL SEE... ALL OF YOU!"

I'll have to tweak my gun sights tomorrow. The Mrs. insists that I fix supper and do the laundry, first. "Dagnabbit!"
Good that will give me time to leave a false trail. Let's see...who should I lead him to for that 1000 yard shot?:rofl2:
On another tangent.
I was just thinking, has there ever been a thread that says any vintage razor or maker was of poor quality. :hmmm:
Being so new to this, and not having time to search all threads, I just do one of two things. I try to stick with British and German blades, just to be safe. I used to ask folks for their opinions... but you can see where 'that' got me! :nono: :gthQuote:

Don't take it so hard Judd,,, the guys here are just playing around a little.
I'll take the responsibility for starting the spiral with my first post, #2,,,
It was the way you asked the question that provoked my silly response.
Had you asked if W.H. Oates was a quality brand of straight razor or does anyone else own one & can they comment on it. The replys , including mine, would have been different.
I apologize if I did not take your question seriously,,,,,,,:angel:
That water pistol looks like it's pointed right atcha John. :gwh:Quote:

I like the hat idea.Quote:

It's John's fault ( whether it actually is or not, it's always John's fault). Simpler that way, does away with confusion. Just blame it on John. ;)
He can't help himself.
He even takes the credit for killing a TV show.

Got this Oates CLT Razor here yesterday, a very nice Hollow Ground Razor, thin grounded with a nice Pling if its flipped with the Finger. 6/8" wide was it easy and fast to sharpen, the Steel is fine and hard, a very well made Razor in my eyes, the shave today was very good :-)
