I was a “lurker” at B&B from around 2010 until I finally took a deep breath and dived in by 2014. The reason for me waiting so long was a matter of not wanting to give away more about myself than necessary for potentially the whole world to know. Once I registered my account and posted my first few posts I found myself to be an active part of a great community where I over the years have met so many great people. Some of them are no longer members, and I do miss them, even the ones I didn’t always agree with. Others are less active today, but I get just as happy ever time I see that they have posted. Then there are a some of you that have become my friends over the years.

I have to mention two of you. The first became my family’s personal and very supporting reverend during the years I and our small son saw our wife/mother die piece by piece of cancer. He was always there for us and there is no way we ever can thank him enough for what he’s done for us.

The second person is a born leader whose enthusiasm, positivism, generosity and great heart has been support and inspiration to me for many years now. Great gifts aren’t about money, but the givers thought. Yesterday I picked up an unexpected package from him at the post office. When I early this morning opened it I found this NOS Friedrich Schlemper razor and a very kind note. Thus I had my given choice for the razor for the coming week.

Thank you all for making B&B such a great community!

well I had a backlog of razors that needed honing/restoration and I just was not getting the time or to be more honest, I didn’t trust myself on some of these. So with all the talk of Afredos aka Doc226 work it was a no brainer. I just got 6 of my razors back and the first up is this Coral I’ve had (it had a small chip in the blade) Doc to the rescue and I can say all the talk is 100% TRUTH I’ve never had a better shave and I can only hope my beard grows faster so I can try all these beauties ASAP. Thanks again @Doc226

Today's shave was the first time trying out the KAM straight and OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in love. This razor gave me the best shave I have had in the 8-9 months i have been wet shaving. Absolute BBS 1 pass ATG even on my neck. No weepers no irritation no razor burn. As gorgeous as this razor is i was thinking of possibly framing it, I know that's blasphemy, but after using it once there is no way I'm going to frame it.
