Above the Tie Windsor from 2013, "R" type, Semogue Owner's Club silver-tip badger brush, Feather blades, Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap. My go-to for ten years running.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
Bicycles, motorcycles, and skiing are my top three. Not necessarily in order.

What else should the members of B&B know about you?
I started shaving with my Grandfather's adjustable Gillette razor in ~1981 and picked up a Gillette Fat Boy adjustable for fun. With my beard and skin type, I shave every other day usually, and sometimes every three days. I am into clothes, shoes, boots, and silver men's jewelry. Before the pandemic madness, I wore a suit and tie often, but since then, especially in the casual community I live in, that has become rare. I miss the days when suits were respected and accepted. Nowadays, I satisfy that urge with Wesco, Red Wing, and White's boots while my Allen Edmonds are mostly sitting in my closet. I yearn to indulge in a great shave, slip into a double-breasted suit and polished shoes and head out for an event from days gone by!

Welcome to B&B! Seems like there are a few other niches in here that may suit you...

Looking forward to reading more. Be well!!!
 
Welcome.

i had a costly Red Wing addiction a few years back and since they seem to last nearly forever, I have been cured! 🤪
 
Thanks, guys! I currently have seven pairs of Red Wings, so I think I'm good for a while! Candidly, I'm probably good for life.
 
Welcome Reed! I'm up the street in Portland, there are a ton of Oregon members here. You've got two awesome razors there and it's so cool that one of them is your grandfather's. Welcome to the rabbit hole man, it's a deep one and B&B is dirty with shaving enablers :).

Sounds like we'll have to get you fitted for a pair of Wesco's to help keep those RedWings in line :).

Oh, I see you already have a pair of Wesco's. Dang man, White's too. All you are missing is Nick's!
