Every razor tells a story

[ScYcS]

Really nice story!!!

I'm going to have to 3rd trying to get that published somewhere. Or at least stickied in the general forum.
Had me on the brink of choking up.

 

[Rollsshaver]

Very well done!!

Echo everything the others have said plus my compliments on the way you dealt with Donna. Clearly you are a gentleman.
And you certainly know your stuff!

Cordially, AvT.

A great story well told. Thanks for sharing, sir.

You say that "Every razor tells a story", but I would say that every razor has a story behind it but it takes someone with a lot of skill and a lot of heart to tell the story.

Beautifully done, I'm sure that your wife's grandmother is more than pleased to have the razors in the hands of someone who appreciates them like you do.

Regards,
Tom

What a wonderful story - I've never looked at any of my razors and actually thought about the implication of the date... I'm going to see these all a little differently from now on.

Great Story. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. I had to gather my thoughts as I re-read your column. Very well done. A treat in a world of ten second infomercials. Thank you.

Wow, that's a beautiful story! I just picked up a couple razors at an antiques shop that came from a General's estate. Pretty cool!

Great read and a well justified bump!

In all honesty...this almost brought a tear to my eye. Extremely well written, and thank you for sharing this moment in your life.

It did bring a tear to my eye, thank you for the lovely story.

+1. Yes, exactly.

Extraordinary. Thank you so much for this beautifully written memoir. You should send it into the NY Times for the endpaper that they run every sunday as the last article in the magazine section. Truly beautifully done. You have described the reason why so many of us are drawn to this hobby.

+2. Or Readers Digest. Thank you for such a moving post.

Great story, and well told! Enjoyed the read!

 

[Rumbaldi]

Mine too. I know it's an older post but that was a well written and heartfelt story.

Great story. I really enjoyed reading it and your descriptions of the connection to historical events and Dan's life. Exceptionally well done, my friend. Those two are keepers for sure! Enjoy your shaves.

Your story really proves why shaving can be more than a hobby.
