    Thanks Gary. Supposedly the scent is based on the discontinued Floyd Blue.

    Veg tanned leather and solid brass fittings, and yes, the craftsmanship looks well done. The only other option that fit my criteria was firefighter's suspenders, but then I would have to figure out new attachments. I'm a Boilermaker at a shipyard, so I needed something fireproof.

    This one is for you, grandpa. I just wish it was as nice as the one I broke, but outside of NOS, this is about as good as it gets, or will be, once I get the tail and heel re-plated. I haven't seen one with the gold wash "C-MON Special" on the blade itself in decades, and probably never will.

    Edit: Here is the companion strop that my grandfather purchased at the same time as the razor, some time in the 30's, '40's or '50's.

    Paul Turner outside the quote(s) now

    From Italian Barber co.....American Barber shavesoap. But later I learned the shipping cost was more than the soap itself. I wanted that particular sshavesoap, though.

    Lost Art Press is doing a once in 15 years sale (ends on the 31st) 40% off, so I've got 4 books coming as well.

    It occurred to me that people might think there was some relation to "The Anarchist's Cookbook," and I hasten to reassure you that this is not the case.

    These are books on how to make a tool chest and a workbench, and using those to make furniture. The other book is a cheat sheet of helpful tips, angles, measurements, and formulas likely to be of use to a woodworker.

    Edit: anyone who is interested can download "The Anarchist's Workbench" for free, from the publisher, here:

    I should have added it to the first order. Clever of them to offer only the third, and arguably the most useful, of the five volume set at a discount. It's bound to sell customers on the rest of the set.

    This is the third volume of reprinted excerpts from 30 years worth of "Woodworker" magazine. All of the articles and most of the drawings were written and done by Charles Hayward, the editor of Woodworker. This volume covers wood joinery techniques.
