Its been a year since I last logged on. Today we went to the Glasgow Highland Games, my first in two years. Just after the 2011 games, we took in a sibling group of 4 kids (2 to 8 at the time) with...

How about some shave den photos. This isn't quite everything, but what I'm using the most right now.

Are the ASCO blades the American Safetyrazor Co blades. I think the blades sold in Walgreens are from here. But then I have some plain blades that were wrapped in plain white paper. I think they...

razorbladesandmore.com is where I get mine. I stay away from the ones at Walgreens or Walmart. Though the Wilkenson's from Walmart are not that bad in a pinch. I prefer Persona's in the red pack. ...

So its down to construction. Could it also be the quality of the materials used? Is the tartan itself "weaker" than it was 50 years ago? As others, I look forward to your progress.

Comparing the pics of the 12 year old kilt vs. the 60 year old kilt its obvious the older one was owned by someone who knew how to take care of it and respected it.

But the younger one looks like...

I'm not from there, nor do I have any connections there, but I hear the oil industry is booming in North Dakota. And with that boom comes all kinds of other needs. I would imagine that the cost of...

Personal contact information might also be sent via PM... :)

So that everyone knows, Chris is OK and will be contacting Matt soon.

Sending you a PM

Me too!



Very close to the real thing in my opinion.

Matt,

Did you use one and a half setts per pleat, making it pleated to the sett? Its what you advised me a few years ago.

Sorry, can't help help you with your family, but welcome, from your neighbor to the south. I grew up in Hendersonville and worked in Goodlettsville for a bit after college. Why don't you introduce...

I did get an answer to my original question through an email to the games secretary. A speedy response as well.

I now realize that these aren't your own photos. I found the same photos on the Aboyne games website. The tie that everyone is wearing has the Gordon crest, a stags head on a crown, with the words...

Kyle,
Any idea who the gentlemen in the Barclay tartan are? Its the photo of the certificate presentation.

So...when you go on a hike, do you see trees or do you see potential cabers?

My favorite razor is an early 60's Gillette Tech DE safety razor. I really like the Personna blades. My favorite soap is Vanderhagen, cheap but effective. Favorite cream is Taylor Old Bond Street...

You might just want to call the museum. This isn't really an official means of communication for them.

What do I see?

I see some embroidery in the corner, looks like flowers. Can't make out if they represent initials.
I see two holes beneath the embroidery, likely from a pin that was worn...

Classic!

It has a tie down for the upper half of the plaid on the left shoulder. Sorry, I don't have a better name for it.

Its not Barclay Dress. It appears to have the same thread count, but I think I see a red stripe in there.

My wife and I were there last May and we stayed at Riverside as well. Very nice place. The boat ride to Downtown Diseny is nice, but sometimes the line to get on the boat can be long and the ride...

That's great. I know you've been trying for a long time.

You've asked for an honest opinion so I'll give you one. I don't like it. The bright gold and red verticle stripes overpower the whole look and make the rest of the colors look drab. Is there a...
