Both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture. My avatar:
The razor is a Classic Shaving original Cobra model. The handle in this razor exhibits 'entasis' so it was a natural for me to use in the composition of my avatar's name. I have no affiliation with Classic Shaving, but do own both models of the Cobra.
McBladescar = Mike's blade scar
It's in reference to the scar that is now fading from a drunken attempt at shaving with a new razor I couldn't wait to try out :)
It's a play on my last name.
Why is your Username/Nickname what it is?
Some of us have nicknames that we use as usernames or have goofy usernames the we just made up. Some of
us use variations of our proper names. I'm betting that I am not the only one interested in knowing your story.
Here's your chance to let us know the history behind your moniker.
Panama60 breaks down to Panama and '60. The '60 is either my birth year, my age or my I.Q., all 3 can apply, lol.
My brother and I relaxing in the shade. That's me in the hat.

Summer of '75, I was 15 and a rebelious teenager. Bonfires and underage drinking were the usual routine for
Saturday nights. This particular bonfire bash took place in the primitive campsites at a local lake. Jesse, the older
brother of one of my best friends was in attendance and made a game of calling me "Red" through the night. Jesse
knew I didn't like being called "Red". Every so often, I would hear "Hey Red, get me a beer!". I would hand Jesse a
beer and tell him my name wasn't "Red". This went on for some time, until I had had enough of it. Then I heard it
again, "Hey Red, get me a beer!". Now, Jesse and I knew each other from school, but what's more is that we had
been paired against each other in some wrestling matches. I knew Jesse was quick and I knew exactly what I was
about to get into when I snapped. I reached into the cooler, grabbed an ice cold can of America's finest swill and
threw the full beer at Jesse just as hard as I could while saying "Name's not Red!". Jesse was on me in the blink
of an eye. My memory is that we went the full 3 minutes, but what I was told later is that Jesse had me pinned and
eating dirt in less than 30 seconds. I tapped out, Jesse helped me up and as he was dusting me off, everyone heard
him say "Okay, okay, I'll never call you Red again, .....Panama".
Why "Panama"? A popular song at that time was "Panama Red" by the New Riders of the Purple Sage. To this day, I
am still called "Panama" some 41 years later.
Disclaimer: I do not advocate underage drinking. I do not advocate bullying. I do not advocate violence.

This topic has been around for a while.
Essentially it is an old nickname. A ReDog is a canine of nonspecific, indiscriminate breed that roam loose on most of the reservations, and kept as pets by the first nations people. It is also a term used for non native people who live on or hang around on the reservations. The avatar is my old rezdog.
I have never been very imaginative when it comes to user names. On a Linux forum I use the moniker, 'Cool-User-Name' as a sort of mockery of the concept. Anyway ...... my given name is Jimmy, my surname begins with an H, and I have had a problem with ADs.
Originally my forum name was Slant_Fan because of my then heavy collecting of twisted head razors, but I requested the change when I got into straight razors, and heavy into a variety of ADs too numerous to detail. :beer2:
