What are you working on?

It is getting to be nearly complete Tom. I like your dedicated space a lot. Of course I do not have nearly enough stuff to fill a room, but I am certainly envious of you organization as well as your collection of far more than just razors. I would really like a nice barbers chair and a few more odds and ends. All in good time I suppose. I am in love with the light switches too, even though they are not shave related.

That's beautiful Tom. It reminds me of the old barbershop my Dad took me to as a kid.

That switch wouldn't be wired up to the barber chair would it?............Like "Ol' Sparky" at Huntsville.

I would expect no less from you. You are a lets go there and then some kind of guy.

I want to have it done by Christmas to show the folks.

Got this repop Crosley record-player at an estate sale at least 10 years ago. Looks resplendent on top of the reproduction Simmons Hardware 'ice box' cabinet. Works a treat, pops and scratches. Plays 33's 78's and 45's!
Pile of old 78's at the in-law's house. I shall be snagging those later in the day!
Fired-it up with a Firestone Christmas album!

Old bottles and such on the shelf. Pinuad Lilac Vegetal front and center!

The razor table is rocking!

AND, you never know when a pin will need snugging! All set!

Lastly, tonite I shall sit on the floor and re-arrange all the jumbled-up shaving items behind the glass sterilizer cabinets.

Very nice,Tom.
The light from the Barber's pole, makes the anvil look like something holy.
Yeah... The holy Grail, of restoration.
It makes a great addition to the cave.[emoji106]

It does look quite nice right there, outback! You put a sweet polish on that!

The little Starrett hammer was a gift from B52.
Great stuff from great razor-buddies!

Nice going Tom.

Have you ever watched the Waldorf barbershop videos on YouTube? They are always playing 1940s big band music in the background.

I have an Artie Shaw and orchestra 33.

Once I get those 78's, I will be set!

I told Sharptonn that he should keep his blades oiled between shaves, some people just don't listen.

I never oil my blades. Just tuff-glide one time before honing!

Hard to believe Bruno makes such nice razors from those ugly little chunks, eh?

Really nice setup Tom, can't wait to see it grow. Looks like there is some space on that one black cabinet for a nice little Avon Truck.
