    Default New Boy In Town

    Hi there every one,I,ve just lit the fire made a pot of tea, stuffed and lit the peterson and put the slippers on,does life get any better than this? Well it would if it wasn,t 14 degrees and ****ing down outside I would be out riding the motobike.I have been skulking around here for a while now and finally joined the the dark side.(or should that be " I have seen the light")I have been wet shaving with a gillette black beauty that I got for my 17th birthday.Aaaahhhhh 17 only seems like 33 years ago!Well friends thought I was crazy using a DE and all those brush,s- soap,s -aftershaves etc.Now they think I am insane.I bought two shave ready wapi,s from Onimaru55 (great bloke and bloody great razors to) an oz made Black Beauty strop.Have a few shaves under the old belt now and it,s like being 17 again.No nicks or cuts yet but I am sure that will come as I gain more confidence.Anyhow it is great to have stumbled across this site full of interesting and helpfull people,Have a good one?

    I don't know...

    If you're shaving under the belt, it might be more like being 12 again!

    You will find that there are a few other Aussies on this forum. I'm in Brisbane. If you need any help, let me know.

    Cheers,
