Hello all!
My name is Mark, I'm 48 years old and I've been reading the forum for some time now.
I don't like marching, but if I have to, it will be to the beat of a different drum.
In the shaving arena, I thought it was about time to Man Up and stop paying the outrageous prices for replacement cartridges. I have no allusions that this will be cheaper (if that happens I'll be happy). I just don't want to be Gillette's or Schick's slave anymore.

I got fed up with the price of ammunition, so I decided to reload my own.
That little experiment led to buying my own molds, Lyman Type 2 lead, et al, and 'dropping' my own bullets.

Now that I'm waiting for my SR set to arrive, I can't help but wonder where this new journey of independence will lead.

I'll thank you all in advance for all the information I'm soaking up here and I promise to let you know just how steep or gentle the learning curve is for me.

All the best to all of you and yours. Thanks for what you are doing.
It makes things a lot easier for us newbies...
