And we're at least as welcoming and friendly.
Well... I tend to think of shaving with a straight razor as hearkening back to the best of our aristocratic past. While I realize that this forum doesn't deal as much or as often with the brushes and creams and aftershaves as some other places, there is a definate air of luxury about it.

As for other interests... I happen to be interested in guns (I'm learning to shoot skeet. Very redneck.) and in blades (Fencing. Ditto.). Oh, yeah, and I'm a lawyer, which we all know has that cool factor just like being a cowboy.

Anyway... Who really cares what everybody else thinks? The girlfriend thinks its sexy, and I enjoy it. My family is mostly tolerant of my occasional esoteric hobbies. What else really matters?
