My wife is a midwife and a week ago she was at work by a new family and at one point the story hobbies come upwards.
She talked about her hobbies (reading) and about my hobby razors and anything wat to do whit that.
That day was the mother of the new mother also present and heard the story on the razors on.
She said I have a razor lying at home, who had been her grandfather's razor.
This lady had this razor the day before just placed on marketplace to sell.(coincidence or not)
The next day there was a box with a note inside and a razor whit the original box in great shape having regard to the age, and the time that it has not been used.
I was realy suprised,as said se placed it on marketplace the day before and i have bid on this razor, a day later i have this razor as a gift.
This was in this note:

"It has been my grandfather, he was formerly a major in the Belgian army.
There he has always used. During the 2nd World War.
After he has been stuck in a prisoner of war camp in Germany, he never used there.
In the camp he could not shave regularly and then let a beard grow.
He has always kept this razor, and later my father.
My parents recently moved from a farm to a small apartment, and there was a lot that had to go.
Have fun and hope you do anything with it. "

I like hearing these stories especially when the razor goes to someone who will put it back to use. Very nice looking razor too.

Razors with the history are way cool than the new ones.
When I touch it - I feel the time flows in my veins. And you will...
Trust me, I'm archaeologist by education and excavate things from 500 B.C. by my bare hands
