Thanks JH! My DW picked it up at a thrift store for a buck or two and it's one of my favs. My shave dens decor is tall ships and lot of nautical stuff. The Clipper fits right in with the picture on the walls. Just got the Crown razor from Stimpy52 to fill out my American razor collection and its a good one. Nice and sharp and a great shaver.

First shave with the W & B finished the scales yesterday honed it today, took 2 hour just to set the bevel. This was a very nice shave, just felt that the blade needs bit more on the stones.

Thanks Bruce...

I can't say it's good to be back, but it's great to get cleaned up!
The Black Flies are on the wane, but the Deer Flies and Punkies are thick. Luckily there are no ticks!

Looks like a good year for snakes though...

P.S.
I used to have a terrible fear of snakes. I worked for years to desensitize myself, and now I find them quite interesting... No pit vipers, though!

Growing up in the Ozarks we had every kind of snake known in the US except the coral snake. I soon picked up on the maxim; "The only good snake is a dead one!"
