Thread: Back in black

Hi all,

it has been a long time...

I believe about three years since my last post. Quite a few things happened throughout the time that passed by. I graduated from college, got masters degree in chemical engineering and got full time job.

Also got into the sport of bowling.

Since free time got up in it's quantity, I figured out that it is time to get back to straight razors. They are all still at home, waiting to get a retouch and good stropping job and to bring them back to life. I must admit I have been careless, so some of them will need some maintenance before honing.

Nevertheless, I didn't abandon the ways of wet shaving, I just used the DE instead.

I am really thrilled with getting back to straight razors and sharing the stories and experience with wonderful community here at SRP.

The years of absence make me feel like a beginner again...

Cheers,

Robert

Welcome back. It's like riding a bike, You'll soon be getting BBS shaves with your straights. Congrats on your achievements,

Thanks for the welcome. It will be a fun time catching up with everything that was going on...

Cheers,

Robert

Now that you are back, you can get in a couple practice shaves on your bowling balls . . .

Welcome back to the brotherhood.

Welcome back to the brotherhood.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I believe that they will have to grow some hair first...

Nice to meet you. I think I read all the Asterix comics when I was a kid...I also liked Tin Tin... :-)

So did I. I had quite a collection at home, and now I had just 2 comic books left. I also like to read Alan Ford, definitely one of my all time favorites.

Yea, how about that! I forgot all about Asterix! I used to read that when I was little in Germany... We moved to the states, but it wasn't big here.

Robert, welcome back and good luck!

Welcome back from a newbie, I am not to far away in Kosovo. I hope to start Straight Razor Shaving soon, once my kit arrives. Congratulations on earning yourself a masters and a full time job. Some days I wish I had gone to collage... but I chose the Army instead. I used to bowl at one time in my life, the time before I was married.
