Well with the DE I've gotten into a routine, so shaving is already fun for me instead of a chore. I will not be giving up my DE anytime soon because: Bald.

I shave my head as well, and let's be honest I'd be a real idiot to try and shave the back of my head with a straight any timein the near future!

I'm going to focus a lot of my studying on learning what the hell to do with a strop, and seeing if I can get the one I have into some semblance of working order. I've seen the strop repair thread, but I need to do some more digging before I know enough for that to help me. I'll have to take some pictures and ask some questions over on the strop section.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and hopefully you bought your syptic in bulk
