This site is going to make me file bankruptcy
I joined this fine community In March of this year with the sole interest in learning to shave with a straight. Since that first day, i have expanded my interest into not only straight razor shaving but also jewelry making for the creation of metal scales and pinning, soap making for the creation of my own shave soaps, woodworking (which i already love) for the creation of wood scales and razor shelves and cabinets, and other numerous interests.
Now i have some basic wood working instruments to begin with, but now i am going to have to purchase more woodworking tools, a double boiler (for soap making), a vibratory machine (well we all know what they are used for), various metal polishes, various grits and types of sand paper, I would really love a kiln for making my own shaving bowls and scuttles, and a small furnace for making metal scales. There are other wants but i dont have the time to list them all.
Now that i have a desire for all this, i dont have a room to store and use all these toys. Now this site is going to cost me about $150,000 for a new house with a garage a.k.a. man cave. I may go broke but atleast i will have plenty of thing to do while i am in the poor house.
Thanks for all the expanded interests.
BTW Commiecat, if i do achieve all this before i die, you are more than welcome to come over and use anything you wish.

Ya I was thinking of starting a broke straight shaving club, but then I realized Lynn already started it and called it SRP.

No i do not have hones yet. I am lucky enough to live in the same town as fellow straight user and SRP member Commiecat. He is my honing guru and the one that i bounce off most of my ideas on. Thats why he has unlimited use of anything that he may need that i own or will own.

Thanked: 235I love how, at this early stage, you think you only need one of everything. Wait until the various ADs kick in. Sometimes it helps to have no money.
