Hi guys,
Im yet to go but I met an old man in his 70's that was telling me about world war 2 and I happened to ask him what he did for a living before he was in the war and then later moved to Australia. Turns out that he was a barber and so was his father and his father. I told him how Im obsessed with razors and I have just caught a bad case of straight cut addiction. He told me that he still has all his fathers and his razors collected from the war in Germany and from the barber shop in the UK he said that he hasn't seen them in 30+ years because there was no barber work in Australia and his son thinks they are junk :cursing: so he has invited me around on sunday (its friday night in Australia) and he said that if I get them out the back of the garage in the box labeled *barber* then I have have them. he said about 15+ razors 4 strops and about a dozen stones.
After I fell of my chair and woke up I thanked him and bought him a couple of beers. I cant wait until Sunday. Im fantasizing about what there is going to be. I am going to give him money for them because I cant just take away a mans life story. Its just sad that his son isnt interested. I think that once I clean them all up i'll get one framed for him as a gift. He said he would be happy to shave me but his hands just aren't as steady as they used to be.
I'll let you know what I get!!:w00t:
