I have been lurking around here for a pretty long time. I finally decided to join in on the conversation. Alittle bit about me.
I am an army vet, and after my service ended, I struggled to find where I fit back into society. Eventually, I founf my way into a blacksmiths shop. I was intrigued by the craft. I struck up a friendship with the owner, and eventually I was helping him around the shop, and he was teaching me the old way of doing things. A few years later I have my own shop and I custom make knives for people all over the country. I do everything the old way, very few power tools involved.
Over time I decided to pay more attention to things I did around the house. For me shaving has always been a utility, I had to do it, lets get it done and over with. I have never been satisfied with the throw away razors. I dont care how many blades they have, or how much the cost... They were just not good. My other problem I had was that 99% of the junk sold at local stores make me smell like a fruity teenager. I stumbled onto the forum and have been plotting and planning ever since.
It has been an awesome ride so far. I currently use a Dovo Solingerm a nice badger brush, and recently, I stumbled across Stirling Soaps. I picked up the Gatlinburg Scent, and AS and I am in love.
