    After I retired from teaching in 2011, I took up traditional wet shaving. I joined TSD in August of 2012. I started my shaving blog in September of 2012. I enjoy doing it. It is basically for myself, but I have had two or three individuals contact me out of the blue because of it. It is a fun pass time.

    I was thinking three nickles glued under the knot. I was curious if there was room?
