    Default Well, Here I is !!!

    Hey Everybody My name is Sam, I've been DE shaving with a Gillette Super Speed (Black handle plastic base ive since moved up to a Gillette FatBoy when i wore out my Blackie) that was my dad's, Since I was 14. I'm 36 now, I remember that on special days and occasions I would see my old man break out that little dark blue box with gold letters and start his regimen with his strop, Ssssp Ssssp Ssssp Ssssp... man that was COOL ! That was my "Dads_Old_Boker". That razor was chipped when one of his dumb kids (I wont say which...) bumped it off of the table while he was honing it .... This was when there was no Internet and no way to repair it or find a new blade for those gorgeous Tortoise scales all of his tools disappeared, strop went dry Razor was lost. Well now it's my turn and I'm late to learn it, but ill catch up. I picked up a handful of Vintage Bokers, couple of honing practice blades and a couple of strops from Lynn @ SRD. One of my "prize" Bokers and a strop will go to Pops, and just like when I was 14 ill have him teach me to shave, maybe he'll let me sit on the sink counter like when I was 2
