I've been a bit tardy.

Hi All,
You may have noticed that I have not been around much this year and for that I apologise.
Most of you would have heard that I lost almost all of my shaving gear in a burglary last December.
Since that time I have lost interest in the hobby that gave me so much pleasure - I have not, however, lost interest in the friends that I have made here (the black dog has been biting).
I lost about thirty razors and, even though I have more in the shed, I have not had the interest in restoring them.
Special mention needs to go out to Rick who brought me a 'care package' with some of his razors, strops, brushes and soaps (funny that the grubs didn't take any of my soaps :dropjaw:) - he even returned my kamisori that I had forgotten that I'd lent him...hehehehe
Rest assured that there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of all you guys and the friendships that I have made here - I am watching what happens here even if I don't post much.
Smooth shaves to all.

Sorry to hear re the robbery but you only need one razor ... or two... or (insert adequate number) :)

I know exactly how you feel. My house was broken into twice in the last 6 months. They took all my guns. My passion my pride and my we-ll All gone. I feel like my life was sucked out of me. I worked so hard for so many years just so some meth head could get his or her fix.

Sorry to hear of the break in, keep that black dog at bay. Hate the black dog :)
Mike

Hope you manage to find your way back to it and find the passion again. At least you have a legit excuse for buying new stuff
