Welcome from los angeles, california also. This is a great place. The people here are friendly.. they are also extremely helpful!
Welcome. Enjoy your shaves. Remember that fancy tools do not a craftsman make. Learn to use your kit well and you will be rewarded with fantastic shaves.

Hi all, It was a crazy year for me, a real rollercoaster at work and good calming things in my personal life. Maybe I mentioned earlier I joined a new startup company and worked my ass off to meet target dates for audits etc. We worked as a small team, although we were promised an experienced team. After months of complaining about the shortage of manpower, I was given 2new engineer which just made my workload and I had to supervise 2people and answer their questions which in turn caused me not to work. I also joined with the agreement not to travel too much as I have 2kids and previous health issues. At the end of my anniversary, I had my routine PET CT check and while sitting in the room alone, I asked myself what did I for the last year. I traveled over 25,000 miles and worked my ass off including weekends for below-sector standards and I quit. I spent my summer working in the garden, trimming trees, playing with kids, etc. As of Tuesday, I started working remotely at the home, basically doing the same work I did in the company, for a better salary and no one around asking me stupid questions. That leap of faith was not possible before my cancer experience for sure. I feel like a new better me Enough for this boring intro, on the shaving side, - I bought a Yaqi butterscotch synthetic brush, and I love it. I use it daily. - I am still shaving with my DE89, and I love it - I bought Razorrock Mudder Focker and it is just gorgeous. It is dark and spicy. It is my favorite with Stirling Gatlinburg - Also I got ToOBS Sandalwood, which doesn't smell like sandalwood, or any wood to me. It is just a soap smell. I don't like it but it performs well. - Finally I decided that my favorite razor blades are BIC and PermaSharp. So I became a wetshaver using same brush, razor, blade and just keep changing the soap I hope to be more active and have sometime to spend on computer while working. Wishing you a happy, healthy holiday season Cheers
