Thanks. I'm off this afternoon to pick up some polishing/grinding gear as advised in the stickies. I'm hooked. But then again I do have an addictive personality.

Good find!

They should all clean up pretty well!

If you dont mind me asking, where did you score them?

Good luck and welcome to SRP!

Congrats on your sweet deal; and welcome to SRP.

I especially like your str8 razor with the barber's notch...

Someone in a small town close to where I live in a Classified ad. The fellow was about 60 and he said it was all his dads who died in 1950. $50 is all he wanted. What was important was that it went to someone who would appreciate what they had. That would be me. lol

Yes, the one with the notch is special to me too. So no you cannot have it.

Maskwa,

Okay...Finders, keepers...

I never argue with a man who owns three well-honed and stropped shave-ready str8 razors.

Happy New Year...

Thanks jhenry. Happy New year to you as well.

P.S. Have you ever hear of Southern Yankee BBQ. They operate out of Indianapolis. I bought one of there units 2 years ago. Is BBQ big in Indiana Like it is further south?

Maskwa,

Can't say that I have. I checked the internet and it seems that they have a factory which makes BBQ equipment such as smokers, etc. They are based in Anderson, IN which is north of Indianapolis. Most of their equipment seems to be commercial in nature for restaurants, so I would think that whatever they make for individual consumers would be very good, if not excellent.

As for BBQ...Yes, the eating of BBQ it is pretty big in Indianapolis. I few local BBQ joints such as BBQ Heaven even made it into American Express's national gourmet magazine Food & Wine a few years ago. There is also a BBQ extravanganza every summer in Military Park in downtown Indy. Vendors cme from all over the country so that the locals can sample their cuisine. My wife purchased a slab or two the last two summers at the event and brought them home. I remember that they were very good eating. In fact, it encouraged my wife to ask for a BBQ smoker for her birthday. I happily complied, then spent the next two days assembling it. She's slow-cooked ribs in it, but has devoted most of her time and energy in search of the perfectly smoked & cooked brisket. I'm an official taster and all I can say at this point is, yummmmm.

Awesome that the wife is cooking ribs for ya!!!

I got a rig from SOuthern Yankee a couple of years ago. The damn thing is 16 feet long with more sinks on it that we have in the house(4). Anyway, in Febuary my wife and I are heading down to Mississippi and Louisianna for a Blues, BBQ, Bourbon and Beer tour. I'm hoping to check out some world class bbq down there. 2010 will be my fifth year competing in a bbq competion. I need some inspiration to come in first place. Later. I gotta get back to mending my razors. lol

That was a great find! Way to get started.
