    I'm Neal Gibby as my screen name would imply. I'm from Atlanta, GA and I am 33 years old. I began wet shaving with the purchase of an old gillette ball end tech from Whipped Dog razors approx. 1 year ago. I have subsequently branched out into straight razor shaving. Additionally I have acquired 2 silver tip brushes and 8 flavors of shave soap/cream. I believe these are the early warning signs of RAD.

    I've been trolling this forum since I learned of wet shaving from The Art of Manliness, gathering a wealth of knowledge. The advice and experience you guys bring to this community is invaluable. I have until this point found that my inexperience left me with nothing to add to the discussion. I hope that I now have something to bring to the table and that I will be able to enhance the community and, hopefully, I can help others wean themselves off the Fusion/Mach 3 teet.

    The RAD never stops...it creeps up when you least expect it. Enjoy the experience.

    Greeting Fellow Fan Boy and welcome to The Shave Den. Tell me, Original Trilogy, Prequel or Both? I am guessing Original.

    Original trilogy all the way. I actually shielded my daughter from the existence of the prequels for the first 8 years of her life. Lol. She is now 13 and fully understands why I did this. To protect the integrity of the series, of course.

    Excellent my good man. While not as big of a fan as I used to be, I still have a soft spot for Star Wars.

    I must agree it is hard to watch them for the four hundredth time. I really find more joy in watching other people experience them for the first time. I most appreciate the culture and community that surrounds the Star Wars universe. So many amazing and creative people. Like Star Wars uncut, entirely fan made recreations.

    I recently heard of a comedian who did a subtitle track for Chewbacca where Chewie basically spoils and foretells the story as it unfolds. But since no one understands him... For example when Luke and Leia kiss he's like, "gross dude, that's your sister."
