Thread: Early Razors and Dating them.....or not

Funny how a firm's name is bought out and new, outsourced products come to fore for a while.

I have a Rowland and Marcellus razor. Not the typical product from them!

That thread just reminded me how much I miss Neil.

On a happier note, that look into the apprentice registry turned up an interesting and unrelated tidbit. There was a Samuel Kirkby in the 1760's who was apprenticed to Robert Rowland (which is why your razor reminded me, Tom).

Robert Roland is a tiny step forward in sorting out Ann, Elizabeth, and Sleigh Rowland.

Unfortunately, he mostly just adds another name to the pile without a clear indication of who or what relationship he had with the others.

Every time I come across a thread I had not seen before and out comes a tidbit from Neil, I go to hit the "Like" button, hesitate and the feeling that comes with it..... hard to describe. Have to hit the like or thanks button, sounds silly but I feel like its a way of showing honor, respect and gratitude. So many new forum members popping up all the time, they may come across Neils posts and not have an inkling he is gone but all undoubtedly benefit from what he left here for all of us.

I know what you mean, when I said about liking Voidmonsters collection I felt like adding that I still go back to the history threads when him, Antique and Neil would focus on a razor or manufacturer and just come up with amazing stuff. Thought that I shouldn't keep referring to past great threads with Neil but I do miss the jokes and history lessons when they all got together.

Thanks Martin....My memory is shot.
