Salutations from the cornpatch
Hello everyone. I am new here, but not to straight razors. I have been using them for many years, and made more than one. Thought the place looked interesting and civilized, after reading over Mike Blue's shoulder last weekend.  |

Welcome to this forum Bigear. I believe you will enjoy your time here especially if you have any perfectionist tendencies. I certainly appreciate all forms of smithery, especially the simple tools needed for everyday life! I look forward to the stories you may share.
Are you still shaving with your own razor?

The Knipper is roaming through here from time to time. It's good to see you here as well, my friend.

Thanks for the welcome guys !
I must confess that use almost entirely antique razors to shave with. I have never kept one of my own make, always having traded them for filthy lucre or other trade goods. 
I always test drive them though, then re-finish them and send them to the customer. It has been a few years since I made one, but I am feeling the bug again. Spending a few days with Mike and Mick Maxen last week has renewed my interest in several things. All good.
I am not real talkative most of the time, so don't mind me sitting in the back, ok ? |

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Oh, very nice, I better take a look at the rust bucket, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse 
Yeah, I can totally see how hanging out with Mike would do that to you - I've only read his posts and get that close from setting up a smelt in my backyard
And most certainly read, post, whatever - we don't care much, as Lynn says 'have fun'. |
