Not a newbie, just new to this forum. I've been a long time member of another shaving forum and refer to this one often for research or information. I've noticed quite a few of my friends on that forum were members of this one as well, and to tell you the truth I needed some more thread activity to keep my mind busy with wonderful new shaving things that people uncover everyday. Hope you don't mind me horning in like this. Besides, you guys have more smileys to play with.
