Rich from Texas here. Learned how to "shave" in high school with canned goop and single blade bic disposables but then quickly went to electric. My father recently found the old Gillette safety razor that he used at West Point and was passed down to him from his father. This sparked my interest so I bought a few safety razors, some real shaving cream, and a good brush and I have to tell you.....I am Loving the experience. I remember as a kid seeing my dad wet shave and remember his heavy ceramic old spice mug and aftershave (glass bottles back then). I doubt I'll ever go back to electric. Looking forward to learning and some enjoyable discussions. Rich
A warm welcome to you from North Texas. You might want to take a look at some of the references contained in my signature line below for discussions of the 30 Day systems and more on shaving hardware and software. With that being said ... Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
