It was perfect timing. The bass are on their beds, so fishing has been crappy.
And the boss gave us Saturday off.

I love my W&B frameback. It delivers a fantastic shave every time...... But so do all my other W&B too, Ha! There's just something about the frameback specifically.

Fantastic etch on that blade too Mike. Super crisp!

I gave him more than I wanted, but was still a fair price, per condition.

I just can't understand these "Flea Markets" that some of you guys find your gems.
I have never found anything shaving related at a flea market,,, did find about half of a greasy Carborundum that the vendor pulled out of his toolbox,,, he wanted $30.00 for it . I just walked away in shock.

Florida is supposed to be the place where all the seniors come to finish their years,,, you would think they would at least bring their straights with them,,, so I could benefit from their passing.

,,,, but No,, they leave their straights at the dang flea markets up North.
