Hmmmm, that is an interesting thought. I could donate my bones to Mastro Livi and live on in a sense through being made into sets of scales for his blades.

Or better yet, perhaps you could perish in the wilderness somewhere, perhaps on glacier, and somehow, somewhere 40,000 years from now instead of some guy getting mammoth ivory scales, they will be 20th century man bone scales!

Like this fellow here . He was heavily tattooed and was buried 2,500 years ago.

I go in cycles. I acquire things at lightning speed, then keep them for several years. In the end I hone my possessions down to what I really want to keep. Usually happens right before I move. Shortly after I get rid of everything I re-acquire it. Usually at twice the price I originally paid.

Gentlemen,

Lynn said to me, "If only there were a Twelve-Step Program for us."

"If only," I said.

So today I went ahead and ordered the Boker "Edelwiss."

Lynn,

Forgive me, my friend, for misspelling "Edelweiss" in my previous post. I shortchanged Mr. Boker for eating the "e" from his "Edelweiss." I hope he, too, will forgive me.

Regards,

Obie

A bass fisherman seeks the lunker.
The straight razor shaver seeks the perfect shave.
The (catch and release) bass fisherman throws the fish back.
The beard grows back to be shaven again.

I don't see much difference. It's the hunt!

It's not having it, it's the hunt. I only want one more razor, I know who owns it and how much I want to pay for it, but I can't buy it yet, and I have a nice dozen others I love to shave with, so what do I do? Hit the flea markets telling myself I'm not buying another razor, and 15 minutes later, I've just got the bargain of a lifetime on a beautiful old razor that I've got to hone, while I'm still waiting for the one I want!
