    That is really cool. Thanks for sharing that.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Taken aback at the reaction to that wee bit info i threw in, but thankyou to all who responded and i will let my son read the responses he will get a kick out of it . when i asked him did he want to learn to use a straight he said "ever since i saw you use it i wanted to be able to do that" well now he can and he is over the moon about it .. He can teach his own son now . and will i get a kick out of that you all know i will and how. My biggest regret is when my father died my mother threw out my fathers razors and strops and his fathers before that.. i did not want to ask for them too soon.... broke my heart. wont happen to my son the instructions have already been given .. thanks again folks. god bless have a nice life. scotchie...... my real name is George by the way.
