So having been a member here since 2013 I took a break to raise a family, pursue a career and grow a beard.
My kids are now in their teens (the horror!), I have a wonderful career which I enjoy (most of the time), and I recently had a shave and immediately came back here to see what was new. We'll lots has changed, but it does strike me as the same friendly, helpful, and inclusive place that made me love this place in the past. Some names are familiar, while others are new, but the spirit of B&B has lived on in my absence.
So a little about me. I live in Canada (Ontario), my interests have mostly been in straight razors, restoration, using them, honing them. But am currently in the throws of Razor Aquisition Disorder (RAD) having discovered that those renegade upstart artisan DE razor makers that were just starting to surface back when I was active have exploded and there is more choices out there now than I would have ever dreamed.
It's good to be back, I'm glad this place is as solid as it ever was and I am looking forward to getting familiar with the place agsin and meeting all the new folks who have arrived.
Cheers!
