Sad story, Good find.........

I don't know how to "sugar-coat" this, so I'll just tell it like it is........

My Sister-in-law's Brother went "toes-up" recently......and he was a barber !

Now I'M an undertaker, (so I know when to shut-up & be sensitive), But the fact remains that I was hoping for some "goodies"......(that he obviously wouldn't need anymore).

My Brother came through !..........

I live in Florida, but the death happened in Detroit, so I couldn't make the trip. My Brother however HAD to go, (after all, it's his Brother-in-law).

Long story short........Four razors:

2 (two) - Temprite #25
1 (one) - Red Imp .....(maybe a Case®) ?
1 (one) - Red Imp......(says something like: Ludo & Sher Razorworks....Solingen......) something like that ?

I would assume there's a load of great stuff, like hot-lather machines, strops, hones, hot-towel steamers, maybe even a genuine barbers chair !...........

We'll See ! ! !............

Marko........

Well, I can see your distraught, so, sorry for your loss. Congrats on the razors.

OMG!!!!!

You made me spit Dr. Pepper on my keyboard.

Should I laugh or cry??? All good things come to those who wait....or something like that....;)

I just went thrue a same sort of deal wifes step-grandfather owned a Barber shop and that is what has got me started into this adictive....ahh Im not sure what to call it yet. But I did acquire everything you mentioned except a towl steamer. I did get a Boker,Friodur Henckles,Antalope and one that says nothing but Sterling. A hot lather machine 7 really nice vintage hones 4 were belgians and yes a Barbers chair that I really have no use for and a Vintage manual to Barbering from (has alot of honing and stroping guides)Actual Barbering school. Your opertunity sounds alot like mine stay after your brother.:rolleyes: Forgot to add in the strop

Ain't that the $hits ?.......Vash ?.......Her I am, just sitting around, not expecting anything.......and out of the blue, he crap's out, and leaves
me some pretty good stuff !

(I swear, I was born 40 years too late)...........

Marko.....

I owned some of my great grandfather's straits but never shaved with em. Then I aquired these by stumbling apon them in a box I was already going to get strop and hones for sharpening my scaples (taxidermist). Now im shaving with em and loving it!

It's a bad deal like you say but at the very least they should go to some one who will apreciate them,use em and maintain them. Not stick em in a closet. :fim:

As Vashaver said, the items are going to someone who will use them, take care of them, and appreciate them. He would have wanted that, I expect.

It would be really tasteless of me to wish you good luck in all your undertakings. So, of course, I'm going to do it. :D

AHH !.....someone with a sense of humor like myself !....:eek:

Marko........ :y

Well at least two absolute truths have been exhibited with your experience and gain: Every one of us dies. Every one. And......None of us can take a single physical posession with us when we go.

There's a book of the Hebrew Bible called Ecclesiastes and also in the Catholic Bible which makes me chuckle over our human folly: The writer of the book is all bent out of shape and he's mad that after he dies he's sure that HIS precious land will end up going to someone who won't take care of it or appreciate it as much as he thinks they should.

If after I die someone takes any/all of my valued razors and throws them on the concrete and drives over them with a car, big deal to me. Thinking about that scenario now doesn't bother me in the least. It's hard not to, but I try not to get too attached to stuff.
