Then why buy a rusted razor?

BTW I am intrigued by the goatskin bible, I may have to get one.

Ok, let me check:
Guns - got those
Bibles - got those, though not as nice
Straight - got those ...

How about fountain pens and mechanical watches?

I almost forgot
Home brewing beer

Got to love this place!

I never would have questioned it, granted I have been accused of clinging to my Guns & Bibles.....

i use a dip pen and a fountain but i must admit i need a new self winder because mine is broke

I read the bible ALOT and was tired of having the covers literally fall off my bibles, therefore I started collecting quality bibles that didn't fall apart. Guns are along the same lines I collect quality firearms that while aren't neccessarily pretty are functional and work very well.

so that would be the correlation between guns and bibles and its also why Im on a straight razor forum.

Very nice. I agree about the quality thing. I tend to listen to the Bible (as I drift to sleep) rather than read it; normally I listen to Ecclesiastes, also the book of Job and I also listen to a lot of The Imitation of Christ, as well as The Song of Solomon. I also use a dip pen, and generally at work I use a 1950's fountain pen. I generally like anything old, apart from me that is, who is getting decidedly vintage and creaky around the joints of late...

Good to have you here, I think you'll fit in. It'd be great to have a conversation with you at a pub over a stout or two methinks...

You guys and your bibles. lmao. Anyway, congrats on the Boker. I want to pick one of those up eventually. I've seen some decent examples in antique stores just never had the extra cash to pick them up. Nice RIA as well. I used to have one myself and it was one of my favorite 1911's.
