I will start this one off. Since some of you don't know the story yet, I will post the whole thing.
When I was younger, my father was in the Masons and the chaplain of his lodge was an elderly gentleman who over the years became like a grandfather to me. He was a great man. We helped take care of him when he needed it, although he did a lot on his own even into his 90s. When he moved up to be with his children in the final years of his life, he gave my dad and me some of his stuff. One of the things he gave us is a Waterville Cutlery pocket knife. He has since passed on, but I still carry that knife to this day to remind myself to be more likehim. When I saw that they also made straight razors, I told myself that if I started shaving with a straight, that one day, I would have a Waterville. Well, yesterday, I won an auction of one and hopefully it is as good as it looks in the pictures.
It should be here Monday.
