Ahhhh, my story....
I refused to join TSD for the longest time. Not for any other reason than I wanted Jeff to have his "own" thing. I suppose, thinking back, that is the one thing that sets us apart ... neither one of has our "own" thing. We prefer to share our experiences .. It truly does bring us closer together.
For the longest time Jeff hated shaving. So did I. To the extent that I bought him a very expensive electric razor for his birthday, it was touted to shave as close as a razor but really didn't. It DID clean itself in it's own cleaning solution.
Not long after his birthday, packages started to arrive at the house. A razor, a blade sampler pack, soaps, and a brush. I sat on the bed and nervously watched the first shave with my cell phone in hand, surely I would need to call 911 when the CUT happened. Nothing ... just a smiling husband super excited about the shave he just received. Soon after, more packages. Soaps, brushes, razors and blades .. everyday something was arriving. Still, a smiling husband that was actually enjoying shaving.
Every evening while enjoying our "relaxing" time .. I was informed of this "post" and that "post" from names I had never heard .. Crackstar Jeff, Bill, JoAnna, Erik, and too many for me to remember now. I was intrigued, my husband is getting shaves he ENJOYS and these people (among others) are helping him. Awesome!
Then one day he says, You should join. I was reluctant at first. This was "his" thing. He continued to post stuff, send stuff off to various parts of the world and the US, and the packages kept rolling in.
Me, I hated shaving. It wasn't comfortable, I had razor burn every time I shaved, and the canned goo ... it was getting old. Paying $20+ each time I wanted a new pack of 5 blade cartridges, outrageous.
Fast forward to vacation.
We rent the same condo we were married in, every May. Our little patch of sand where we committed to each other on the beach ... He says, try this and let me know what you think. I had been eye-balling him for months. One razor then another .. this blade versus that blade. I was intrigued.
My first DE shave was a Weishi gunmetal and Dorco-301ST, at the beach. Awesome shave, no irritation even though I was still using the canned goo.
Since then, May 2010, I have not used a cartridge razor (except for my underarms, but that is a different thread .. ). I joined TSD several months later. I have since went totally cartridge free, as I have learned how to shave the pits and no blood was shed.
I have my own Den and own acquisition disorder. Jeff says that he should use more of my stuff but

he has quite a bit of his own.
I like it here. While there isn't a lot regarding women's shaving, does there need to be?? Possibly, but a razor is a razor and a blade is a blade. They cut hair the same, IMO. And I have given my opinion several times. But that is what we are about.
Would I like to see more girls ... absolutely. But that is another iteration of TSD that will come ... I am sure.
Until then, it's Jo and me, keeping ya'll in line!
Happy Shaving and Enjoy your stay Here!
