Rum Horn by Erv Tschanz

The horn is by Erv Tschanz from Rochester, NY.  Erv is a master in the Honorable Company of Horners and has been doing first class horn work and turnings since before the Bicentennial.

18th Century Shaving Kit by Manfred Schmitz with Razor by Erv Tschanz

I bought at the Fort Frederick Market Fair by Erv Tschanz a hand forge razor and a badger hair shaving brush. Later at home I made a small mirror, soap dish, leather sharpener and a wooden razor box all in the style of the 18th century.
