I've always been curious about getting an old fasioned shave with a straight razor, from a professional of course. Then I saw an old gangster movie where the barber...well let's just say I'm no longer courious. Still, as with all your work Jim, those are works of art. A few of us know a guy from and old forum who would drool over these.

ahhh Luckey your right...I had forgotten about that. Too bad we can't entice him to join us.

Very nice work,

I have a straight razor in my little box of family treasures that belonged to my grandfather.

I don't think that other fellow was ever really one of us.

Seriously, I think I'm going to try to find a barber (with a lot of experience) who still gives a shave with a straight razor. I'd like to see what the difference is.

Perhaps by blood or the ring, but never in spirit Jim.

Drac,

Outstanding work, like Luckey I too was curious about having a shave with a streight edge. While attending Tech. College, I worked as a Nursing Assistant, and had the oppertunity to give an older gentleman a shave with a modern version of a streight edge and had been curious. One does have to be carfull with a streight edge.

Your work can be best admired in a showcase so all can view, had this took place about 100 years ago then it would be of practicality more than art, and your work is art.
Thanks for the view of your work.
