Thread: I'm Back!

Hi to all those that know me, greetings to all those that dont...

I was active on the boards a while ago but then work/girlfriend commitments forced me to cut back on time spent surfing and actually do some real life stuff (otehr than shaving). Anyway, I have now finished my PhD and am working as a research associate in a russell group (UK equivalent to Ivy league) university. I'm still shaving with a straight (over a year and a half without using anything else) but I'm still not great at honing, although thats not much of a problem as my Puma keeps its edge for ages.

I should be back on a lot more now so I look forward to chatting with you all.

Still? We're just gettin' warmed up

Nice to meet you Dan and Congrats on the PhD. What were you studying and what are you researching now?

Reading your post I was very interested: are you one of those rare beings with just one or a couple of good razors? (because you said "my Puma" and not "my Pumas" or "most of my razors" or something like this) If so - more power to you! (unfortunately, I am only able to achieve this with brushes)

Cheers
Ivo

Welcome back and congratulations Dr. Dan.

I did maths and now I'm doing maths applied to genetics. Not very interesting really... I just like being called Doctor

I mainly shave with my Puma but I do have a couple of backups (basically a Lynn honed amco and timor) for when time constraints mean I can't sit down with the hone. I do love the Puma though, the size and the fact that it keeps its edge for an age means that I dont need a load of razors. Saying that, I used to have quite a few cheapish razors but I pretty much trashed them all when learning to hone. That reminds me... I've got a korn that I've been neglecting somewhere.

WB Dan. oh, sorry, Dr. Dan

I too just checked back in after a long time away. I also still enjoy my straights. As I am an middle aged full time undergraduate student, I understand the lack of time. My studies have kept me away, but I have never forgotten the nice gents here.
