Thread: Introduction...finally

Don't worry guys, you won't find me sitting on the side of the street with a cardboard sign saying "Will Hone for Food" I've already decided to keep my stock of razors limited to about 20. 2-7 day sets and a few customs. Maybe more if I win the lotto

Yea, that Case & sons has the most interesting story, being my first razor. My father and I took a road trip on his Harley, a '93 Softail Classic, when I was 10 or so to the Zippo/Case visitor's center for their "Zippo Days". I was always pretty obsessed w/ knives and Zippos (from Die Hard, of course.) There was an old collector there selling off some wares. I saw the Case blade and just had to have it! My dad made me promise that I would shave with it when I'm old enough. I told him "Of course! That'd be the coolest way to shave!" The guy liked my gumption, so he sold it to us for something like 10-15 bucks, because "No one shaves like that anymore". Lo' and behold, 12 years later I had a job interview the next day and no money for my Mach3 replacements. I remembered I had it stuffed away in a box full of all of random stuff from my childhood. Ran to Walgreens, picked up some VdH soap and a brush. Researched how to shave, wound up on here, learned what I could and shaved the next morning. And it went great! Pretty sure I bungled the interview, but my face was good!
