Totally bogus
Okay, folks, so here I am...
I've posted quite a few questions on this forum, and also comments.
Figured it was time to introduce myself and post a few pictures of my life, my toys, my hobbies, my love, my passions.
Don't want to stir any anxiety and emotional results...so if you cannot handle it, or are getting triggered...just (slowly) back away from your keyboard, consider it something you THOUGHT you saw...and continue on with your day.
Here is my formal introduction.
I am a born-again Christian, and I love my Lord and Savior, the Christ. I was an Army Ranger for just short of six years. I am also a competitive 3-gunner, and I was chairman of our range for anything multigun. (Rifle, shotgun, pistol). I reload my own boolits, and cast and reload my shotgun slugs. (Pictures attached). I was a bow hunter (I eat a plant-based diet now), but I still love the compound bow and it's intricacies. I am an avid runner and climber. (Bouldering). I lift weights, and I was heavily into obstacle course races. (OCR's). I love Muay Thai boxing, and I grappled for 6 years.
I am also a brewer, and love to brew the dark biers. (Low ABV, and I drink in moderation only).
I pretty much only brew Porters and Stouts for myself, and Juicy/Hazy IPA's for the wifey. (I brewed a "Haze Craze IPA" for the wifey recently, and just kegged a Chocolate Coconut Oatmeal Stout for myself last night. My last awesome brewski was a Chocolate Hazelnut Porter that rocked the neighborhood). I use nitro for my Porters and Stouts.
Me and the wifey recently moved to Roseville (40 minutes north of Sacramento) from the SF Bay Area 3 years ago.
Best decision we have ever made!
We just had a newborn 4 months ago. (Beautiful Oelun is half Peruvian and half Mongolian. We named her after Chinggis Khan's mother, a highly revered woman in the Mongolia culture). So you older daddy's that think your "soldiers" are not swimming long-distance any longer...reassess yourselves!
I found a job doing residential HVAC installs in my area. And at 135-degree's in tight attics, it is brutally, physical, work.
Loving it. Right up my alley!.
Crushing life!
I got into DE shaving recently...and I shave my head as well.
My first razor was a MERKUR 38C Barber Pole.
And my first brush was the MUHLE VIVO badger-hair brush. (Kinda lop-sided, and heavy on one side).
I am currently refining my head and face shaving with this duo. But I am looking for a "heirloom pair" to place in my Master Bedroom as my primary go-to. The former duo will end-up being in the office bathroom. (The Merkur 38C and Muhle VIVO photo is attached).
More to come on my new Master Bedroom duo.
I am considering doing a YouTube review on my razor purchases and soaps/balms...but time will tell the story.
I am learning mucho from this forum. But like everything in life, I need to proof it from what I have learned in life. And I need to evaluate it based on my personal experiences.
Cheers, peeps.
Don't hate me cuz I shave my noggin.
