    Welcome to srp Givvingett!

    If not for the internet I wouldnt have shaved with a straight.. never saw one being used in real life or saw one in the shops... I'm not a collector of anything but I love to use them, hone them and bring them back to life.

    You're right,..where would we be without this internet tool? In my experience, there's nothing like putting together a group of sharp and interested guys and bouncing ideas, sharing knowledge, there's just no substitute. As far as learning to shave,...well when I was about 16 my technique came straight from the old movies I had watched and then later from an old barber that lived around the corner. That old gent took the time to explain a couple things, particularly about care and storage. I'm sure that old fella must have thought I was nuts back then, but his genorosity hasn't been forgotten by me. That barber is gone for over 20 years now, (May you RIP John) but I still remember him fondly,.......now his $2.50 haircut, that's another story,....I wore a hat for 2 weeks, til' it grew out. Thanks for your interest Maarten.

    My best,

    Peter
