Thanks Marshall.

I just ordered several straight razors. I thought I'd give it a try. I'll try and post some pics when I get them. I've collected a bunch of blades over the years. For some reason they go well with guns.   Bill T.

By "give it a try", do you mean shaving with a straight razor?  If so, here is some first aid advice    ...and a link that might interest you.  Good luck.  You will be added to the Prayer List 

Decided I better buy some shaving salve as I nicked myself pretty good for the first time today. I read somewhere, I believe on this forum that spruce oil stops the bleeding of minor cuts, so I picked up some "Petro-Carbo Medicated First Aid Salve" from Target. I stumbled across the salve while I was looking for the legendary Proraso shaving soap Charlie, A.K.A. Clarman told me about. I know how to use the salve of course, but I'm not quite sure how to use the Proraso as it seems kind of soft, just get the brush wet and whip up a later in the dish the soap comes in? Thanks for your assistance in advance,

Just let Melanie know to advertise here in the classifieds first for the estate sale. Seriously, those things scare me. I used to get my hair cut at this old school Italian barber shop called Carmello's in DC. It was $6 for a cut and an extra $5 for the whole hot towell and a shave with a straight razor thing. I did it once. The whole experience of having my face covered with a towell while someone went to work with one of those things feaked me out. It was a good shave though.

Hey Bill, are you going to call 911 before you start, or Just have Mel stand by with the speed dial  ?

Afraid that all my knives are user knives and not of the collector grade....but I do value a good blade as much as the next guy.

Entrenching Tool...Not a Knife but it does have a sharp edge which I have used like an axe when camping.

Rather than adding another post here is my other knives that see regular usage.

Perhaps a topic for "Other Cutting Tools"  Hatchets, Axes, Machetes etc....?
I want to get a few pics taken soon of my current Axes...I have a double bit that is more than 50 years old...Belonged to my Grandfather, then my Father and now Me....

The razors will be delivered this Friday. Hopefully by Monday I'll be able to get some pictures up. Of the razors, not me!      Bill T.
