I have a question for the more experienced among you. The meers I have bought have all come from my local shop so know the quality. Tonight I was looking on EBay and I'm seeing meers that have color (blue, brown, purple, and various patterns of color). How is this normal? I thought meers...

Actually, the brass Karve razors were the first ones available. By all accounts, a superb razor. The stainless steel razors are a new offering. I'm still thinking about getting one of the brass ones. I have a few of the modern DE's and they are super shavers. Combines with the right soap...

1997 BMW 740il (250k miles) 2003 Toyota Sequoia (300k miles) I do my own wrenching so keeping them on the road is pretty cheap. They are paid for and run good.

Another vote for the zippo pipe lighter or matches. I also clean the rim with saliva every few smokes. I have pipes I have had for years and the rims still looks good.

I just stepped outside and it is a very pleasant 70 degrees here in Illinois. Perfect weather for working in my yard.

That's a good looking meer.

This is sad news and makes me appreciate having a local shop that is thriving even more. The only thing more enjoyable than smoking my pipes is having a place to go and sit and chop it up with other pipe smokers.

Take it from someone who deprived themself of the pleasure of a meerschaum, do it as soon as you can. There will be no disappointment.

That's a nice pipe, but your restoration work is outstanding!

That is one good looking meerschaum. I'm smoking mine now and I'm pretty happy. I put off buying a meerschaum for years and now I'm wondering why the hesitation.

My wife loves the way a good aromatic makes the house smell. She doesn't like me walking around the house smoking cigars, but loves when I walk around smoking my pipe.
