Hello to all…

I’ve got a three day layover in Allentown. Pa…May 19 to 21.

Is there / are there any places here where I can buy shave soaps, brushes. Pinaud products and etc?

I’ve been straight razor shaving for years and think it’s the only real way to shave…

Thanks to all.

Ok, so I have been thinking of getting a Wade and Butcher. I have not been fortunate to find one locally so I am looking on ebay. However, I know with bidding the prices can get jacked up. In the end, is it worth it? What makes Sheffield steel so magical? How much of the reputation is hype? I was thinking of saving up to get another TI but I guess I do not want to deny myself a chance to try a WB.

I bought this stone off ebay; it was nearly black with oil and dirt, but cleaned up nicely. Very hard and smooth, it dished my Norton lapping stone a bit. It appears to be a natural stone and was labeled only "GERMANY". Color is light yellow with darker tan inclusions. Any ideas? It’s not novaculite nor do I believe it is a coticule. PPlease excuse the poor photo; I haven’t posted photos in a while and I am very rusty
