Guess I'll wait a little bit to post my crawler bro, we'll start with something different. High end competition grade ball bearing yoyos. 2 different companys here, Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works(a Peak and a Wooly Marmot) on the left and One Drop Designs on the right( a Markmont Project and a Project 2). I used to throw back in middle school when yoyos were the fad, dropped it for a long time then my brother was randomly looking at high end yoyos online and I was hooked. Throwing is very relaxing to me, it's something I can do at almost anytime anywhere. The 4 here range anywhere from $80-110 and I have 6 all together. On a strong throw I can get them to sleep upwards of 6-7 min. and do tricks for over 3 min, and oh boy the knots! Funny enough the owner and machinist at One Drop Designs is a straight razor shaver and I and sbrouwers have restored a couple of his razors, I've been trying to get him to come and join us. And now.......

The Shave:
Razor: Engels Leader
Brush: Vulfix Best Badger
Soap: My own Vanilla Bourbon
A.S. : Bay Rum Constanza

Awsome shave with a mean little spike point!

My other hobby is home brewing, I have been doing it now for 5+ years, I started on mead, and fruit wines. Moved over to beer where I found my love and calling for home brewed ales of all types.

Another hobby of mine--listening to Jazz.

jhenry,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was out of town the last few days. The scales are made of celluloid. Looks great but a little too bendable. Not very stiff. Still, nice to have in the collection for their beauty.

ThePhill,

LOL! Thanks so much for the kind words. I was a collector and straight razor aficionado before I became involved on the forum. I kick myself for not getting involved with the forum earlier. But I guess its better later than never!

Again, a real joy to be involved with such a great group of like-minded guys.
