I've been a member for a short time now, and looking around here even longer and I decided I need to say hello. I've been interested in using a shaving brush for about 12 years now, but because of price and too many other things to mention, I never got around to getting one, yet. I remember as a kid my grandpa having a shaving strop in his bathroom (he was a barber in Powell, WY) and my dad using a shaving brush. I would like my kids to have some memories like that of me. Plus, I'm kind of an old fashioned guy. I like the philosophy that goes with slowing life's pace down a bit: using a fountain pen to hand-write a letter, wet shaving, reading a book rather than a computer screen. I'm looking at finally getting a proper shaving brush, probably a Crabtree and Evelyn best badger, and Cassell and Massey soap. I'm also looking in to getting a double edge razor and trying it out, though I don't know which one to get. I don't anticipate spending tons of money on this as I also enjoy magic and that can be expensive too. So, I look forward to learning more from the members here and I hope I can also help others enjoy this art.
I don't know if I'll get a response here or if I should post this question elsewhere, but I've been looking for a type of hot water holder that I saw in a catalog a year or so ago. I think it was Duluth Trading Co. but when I looked into it, they didn't know anything about it. It was advertised to keep water hot for hot lather shaves. It was non-electric and appeared to be either stainless steel or brass. I remember it had a handle and spout and it seemed to be made so it was insulated. If anyone can help me with a name or anything, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Trader Jack
