Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

You don't live in Texas do you Jimmy? That looks like Texas to me - or at least what I imagine it to be. I've always felt like I belong in the republic of Texas... Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

It is a 32 Bill, belonged to Alex Micah. The oldest practicing barber in the USA back in the mid 1980s. I bought that razor from him at his shop in Madison, NJ when he was 99 years old. Great shaver. Originally Posted by pixelfixed

Gentlemen,
Neil Miller is an artist and his strops reflect a striking talent. I have his 2.5" shell cordovan leather with genuine linen strop — and love it.

As do I, Obie, shown here with Wm Howcroft sterling-scaled razor, Mozart sterling brush with ebony/ivory handle turned by Mr. Barber. Originally Posted by Obie

Unless Neil catches another boa constrictor in his garden!

I rest my case.
