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.

Welcome!!!
Sounds like you are off to a great start

Hello, Charlie. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!

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. :D

Enjoy the forum, and ask away if you have questions!!

Regards,

Howard :)

Hi Charlie, Welcome. Like some other Gent's I lived in Alaska too, still keep a cabin at Ninilchik, good Halibut fishing there/ deep creek).

Welcome to SRP!
Don't count on saving too much money.

If you haven't read the beginner's section in the library yet, give it a good look over and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome. I loved living in Alaska. I hope your shaving experience just keeps getting better.

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!

Welcome to SRP.

Thank you for serving.

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