    Horn and bone are still readily available, inexpensive and extremely versatile. Horn comes in a natural selection of varied colors and patterns that cannot be matched by man made materials, although there are some cool man made materials out there.

    I have never worked with horn or bone and have no idea where I would get it.

    Nothing razor related but the last couple days was mostly spent sealing the driveway, one day to clean and fill all the cracks and one day to seal it. Fun stuff! but if ever you need a concoction to fill in cracks on blacktop that actually works let me know.

    Had to go to Albany this afternoon after the sealing for some quick business. By the way Albany is New York State Capital, the architecture is breathtaking, especially the Former Delaware & Hudson Railroad building, who is now some kind of State office.

    At highest point of the buiding, The weathervane all copper Henry Hudson Halfmoon ship.

    Yes. It's pretty cheap but should be fine for me. No foot pedal, but for $80, I'm not complaining.
