    Atta boy!

    As someone who himself had drifted away due to medical reasons some time ago... (more than 5 years I think), I recently climbed back into the saddle and it's like starting all over again.

    I keep my DE in the shave area, but I have not touched it since picking up the straight again. Not because my shaves are stellar..... they are NOT, but they are "acceptable" appearance wise, and that's all that matters... I may notice it feels rough, the rolling pin dept. might complain, but that's how I justify buying more gear! Hey, she's not happy so.... I gotta buy X and give it a try! <grin> Oh, and I hone like a noob as well... All those nice hones I have are worthless until I develop the feel, once more.

    Welcome back, and rest assured , you are not alone. Just take it slow and easy this time, and if all else fails, Chicks dig scars, only not when yer north of 60! <groan>

    Regards

    Your not really living until you have had to superglue your face back together at least once!

    Welcome Back mate.
    Just take you time & you will be surprised how good the shaves become.
    Just don't be in a rush until you get the hang of it.
    Cheers Paul
