Here's my post from North Pole AK
Hey all. Originally from Texas, but being in the military has put me in a lot of places. Between the every day shaving and mx upkeep of myself I got tired of spending so much on an experience I dreaded. My grandfather used a straight, my dad used a safety and I decided to go old school and save some cash. So far it's been great and I don't want to turn back. I keep a Gillete or Mach 3 or something should I ever wake up late. Right now I'm four shaves in, currently on leave, so the mustache and chin hair is still there. It's certainly easier to trim with the straight. Thanks for listening.

Charlie,
Welcome to the forum. I lived in Alaska 14 years, but farther south on the Glenn Hwy. Termination dust isn't far away and the fireweed should be topping out. Makes me kind of anxious, still, to think about it. I didnt mind the cold, but I hated the snow and by far I hated the darknes of winter. If one could just sell sunshine up there.
Enjoy the forum, and ask away if you have questions!!
Regards,
Howard

Hi Charlie & welcome to SRP. Wow, the North Pole huh? I imagine it's pretty cold there. It's been hot as usual down here in Texas. You'll find plenty of information here, a wealth of it plus many knowledgable members so if you have any questions, ask away. Good to have you here.
Good luck my friend & fellow Texan!Last edited by engine46; 07-28-2015 at 07:00 PM.

Keep working on those straight razor skills. There are a lot of brown bear up that way who need a good shave.
