Thread: Newbie here! hello y'all!

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for the info. I did retire young, too young. I love to fish, probably more than hunt. Hunting is hard work. You can screw up a perfectly good hunt by shooting a huge deer high in the Rocky Mountains, 3 miles from the nearest road. Talk about hard work.

Try this outfit for excellent deals on Solingen Boker straight razors: Dvor.com | Daily Deals and Offers on the Gear You Want You'll have to sign up. There wasn't a membership fee when I joined. I don't think there is. It's a subsidiary of OpticsPlanet.com | Hunting, Shooting & Tactical Gear. I picked up a Solingen Boker Arbilito from Dvor at just a hair over 50% of its MSRP.

I love your choice of straight razors. I've just gotten in to straight razor shaving about a month ago when I ordered my Arbolito. I know very little about straight razors. However, I do know about Solingen steel. It's widely considered to be the best steel in the world. I own three Solingen Boker hunting knives, and they're excellent. Keeping in mind that I have yet to reach neophyte status, I'd be surprised if there is a better brand than Boker. But I'm sure there are brands that are just as good. And we can't factor out personal preference. Some blade guys love Japanese steel. Some guys love American. Puma and Dovo have lines of Solingen straight razors. They're great brands.

Oh man! i really love fishing! have been in Colorado Springs a few times and that's when i first tried Ice Fishing.. gotta love it! i mean it's really really nice!
also love fishing here in CR but it's way ore expensive...
also was going to go with my boss for hunting, but turns out i cannot hunt because foreigners are not permitted to do in Colorado (need residence at least, and i was just on a short business trip), he had a license for deer.. imagine that! very difficult to gain one.

oh anyway, I'm planning on going back for more Ice fishing the next year... for now, with a baby 4 months old, i'm just staying home as much as I can enjoying being a dad hehe.
