Jimmy, I hope you are not playing with needles and ink at the moment, but if you are, let me know how it turns out. All the best!
:OT I promise I will work on my PM box in the near future. I really don't have time for PMs yet. I certainly owe one to you about your hones and the extra stuff I included with them. I never intended to disappear but priorities took over.
Back on topic, I've got lots of Barber's Use W&B's but I didn't realize the "For Gentleman's Use" W&B's existed until recently when I saw one on ebay. Of course now I want one (or more) of them.
Oh Jeez, I'm too tired to do this properly. I thought the above quote was from Jimmy and not from Kelly. I must have gotten confused from the fact that Jimmy's post immediately followed Kelly's. Kelly, disregard the hones and extra stuff comment, that was directed to Jimmy. When I get a chance, I'll go ahead and figure out how to do a friend request and send my first one to you. Hopefully that will make it up to you. As of yet, I have no idea if I can make it to the next Mid Mo meetup as I don't know if what state I will be living in at that point. If at all possible, I do intend to go.
I have to agree that this maybe the reasonQuote:
I have been thinking about this, too. Could it have been that barbers back in those days were also "surgeons?" They were not really doing intricate surgery and most often the procedure was an amputation. That may explain why the "barbers use" razors tended to be the biggest ones.
