Thread: Try, try again!

As some of you "older" folks know, I was quite active here and then disappeared for months at a time. Now I'm back, humbled by the warm welcomes that have come my way.

My absence was caused by a variety of things, mostly related to aging and other demands of life to attend to. I am now shaving 90% of the time with my variety of SE and DE razors. When the spirit moves me however, I still enjoy a nice, slow, shave with a straight razor.

Today the moment was upon me -- my wife was out of the house, and the phone was off the hook -- so I pulled out a few classics. They included a Wade and Butcher Hollow Ground smiler restored by Sharptonn, a beautiful, terrific brush made by the now departed Pixelfixed, my wonderful MDC, and Executive Man A/S splash from Stirling Soap Co. to finish.

I prepped the razor for a while on an Heirloom Razor Strop Co., "Old No. 2", since it's been a while.

I had a great time getting a great shave!
