Thanks, Alembic,

I am 68 years old and although I just started using straight razors six months ago, I have wet-shaved my whole life. Before razors, I was heavily into collecting vinyl records, a hobby that has many of the same rewards and pitfalls as collecting shaving items. I don't know about wisdom. I could post an awful lot about the stupid mistakes I made that brought me to my philosophical ideas. Certainly our failures generally teach us much more than our successes, as in, "I hope I never do that again!!


Thank you for your kind words.
