    Default Now this is a man's Place!

    Hello Gents! My 32 Yr old son wanted to have me join him in wet shaving with a straight razor. Done it with cartridge and DEs for many years and still have my original Gillette Adjustable in the case! Found a couple of nice straights on eBay and picked them up, one for each of us! Love all the fun accessories, aromas and improved facial condition sine I am more aware of taking care of my skin. Several slices have reminded me to relax, put on peaceful music and enjoy the ride. Meeting my son Sunday for our first shave together. What a learning process! Hope to gain more with you guys as e-mentors on this journey.

    Sounds like the beginning of a fun trip.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Welcome to SRP!

    Relaxing and enjoying the ride is exactly the best way to approach all this.


    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I'd just like to point out in the interest of Pluralism that it's also a great place for very hairy women :P

    BTW: That's a super cool pic. I'll bet your son thinks so too
