    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My father passed away recently. Clearing his apartment I found multiple slide rulers and Rotring brand technical pens. Got me thinking that up to 80's blueprints were really hand drawn and a slide rule was a professionals tool. My kids had no idea what a slide rule is when shown

    To beard or not to beard?

    There must be others too with same dilemma? I absolutely love shaving with a straight razor and the whole kit with it... But. I can't stand my face without a beard! Thought about just moustache, could shave and still have some facial hair but that's a nono with the missus. So beard it is!

    Show us your Guns!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
