Buckeye on loan to the Hoosier state.......& SR newbie!!!
3 things happened that brought me here. the irony is that they are staggered over DECADES.
1) Had ONE barber shave and it was a horrible experience. guy cut me, lather machine, destroyed my beard and ended up having to shave it off.
That said, the hot towel and the ritual still sticks with me.
2) cigar smoking buddy restores SRs and anything/everything sharp. The stuff he used to show me were drop-dead gorgeous. i don't know about other people, it would be YEARS before i stopped looking at straight razors as things for other people.
3) Just started shaving with DE razors and haven't cut myself (YET), love the ritual, and i especially love the shave and the lack of irritation.
Other than that, at the risk of sounding pretentious, cuban cigar killer, appreciate spirits, crafts beer, cocktails, and ethnic eats.
Pleased to be here and thanks in advance for your patience with my questions. :beer1:
