    I knew my Mom had some shaving equipment that used to be her Dad's, but I hadn't been there since I started DE shaving and hadn't really paid attention to it before. Today I was there and checked it out. There was an old fancy mug, two beat up straights, a strop, and these two beautiful brushes. I want these so bad, and my Dad told me to go ahead and take one, but I'll wait until we split up the estate...I'm in NO hurry. When I do get them, I'll restore the one on the right, and leave the other one as is.

    Very nice. I just found a Ever-Ready in real good shape at a flea market 2 weeks ago that I have been working on.

    I have 6 Ever-ready's. 4 awaiting reknot, 2 of which are green like that 200 you have there, 2 red ones similar to the green, one like GDC just reknoted, and a red and white 150. I have 24mm silvetrips in the 200s and I also made one damn near identical to them for my dad. Excellent handles to reknot. Jeff (Stingraysrocks) has several greenies too. The two red handled ones I have I'm going to reknot with a 24 mm horse knot and a 24 mm super badger as a gift for my brother. He wet shaves but isn't as enthusiastic as most of us are so he doesn't have a silvertip yet. He only has The Dridecker I gave him and a VDH boar.

    Dude, I'm stoked for you.

    I really like the 101A you got there too. Reeeeeally nice bonus that they are your gramps's gear too. :D
