Excuse me gents, but out of an attitude of love and reconciliation, should we let our British friends in on this?

Hm... I've only got one American blade that is shave ready. I have another one in the works, but I'm pretty sure she's Sheffield steel (I've heard rumors that the early Torrey's with the whip on the tang were not American steel).

Mmmm, all those Torreys. What I really need to go is get my butt in gear and finish honing mine. Then again, I'll bet between you and Joe you could probably provide seven day sets or American razors to quite a few members. Originally Posted by CarrieM

Not just Torrey's I have some Robeson's too. Although I think Joe has pretty close to a seven day run of Torrey's himself. Thinking about bringing the little guard out tonight or tomorrow. Been waiting for a slice from the DE from last week to heal up. That's what I get for not using my str8's . Originally Posted by holli4pirating

Shave with a Torrey on Independence Day? Wouldn't that be treasonous? The Torreys were loyal to Britain, were they not? Originally Posted by holli4pirating

Joe, they're so pretty. Are you recycling pictures off your database? I think you should take some photos of your strops too; leather always looks good.

Yep, the pictures are recycled off my database most were taken by JrJoeD. I really don't have the time, patients or talent to take SOTD pics after a shave. Originally Posted by holli4pirating

Maybe I can get Jr. to take a group shot of the brushes some day, maybe at the meet.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)
