    Sounds good, love some Bass fishing or nothing like some fresh Trout...I'm more used to cold weather stuff...love ice fishing, and some winter camping is always fun...if you have the right razor of course...I can't imagine the W&B hunting would be that good down there since all you American's are a bunch of rebels....didn't the Brits take all their razors and stuff home with them when you gave them the boot in 1776?

    We didn't let 'em because we're a bunch of damn Rebels! That's why there's so many Sheffield's down here!

    You need to study up a bit on the War of Northern Aggression. The Southern homeboys bought LOTS of stuff from the Brits.

    Ohh...I'm quite aware of that, I'm going back to your War of Independence, 1776...to us, we're still a part of the Commonwealth...God Save the Queen...so you're all rebels to us as far as we're concerned!

    Dont' forget, we're Canadian, we're kinda like the lovechild of England and France after a drunken one night stand and England just left us to grow up with our big brother America (thanks Bro!), who was like the rebel of the family, and all we had left was all their old stuff, bad memories, broken dreams, empty bottles, dirty ashtrays and some really nice old razors.

    Just had coffee with Valery from the Gentleman's Den, had a nice time as always.

    Picked up a few razors, including the GB Iron Cross...it's here finally...now, off to the gym, then home to have my first shave with this wonderful piece of history.

    Phrank, you already stole that one from me did you get the other one as well? I have had the GB's in my watch history for a long time and I think you are the snake in the grass that got two away from me so far . During my "time out" I found one on the bay and asked the seller for more pics. As soon as he posted them it was gone
