Thread: Hello from Seattle

Hi everyone!

I've posted a question already (and thank you for the answers/encouragement), but wanted to do the formal introductions too. My name is Greg, and I hate shaving...with a disposable. I'm REALLY hoping that changes with a straight, and at the very least, I can say that I'm excited about shaving again now that I'm waiting for my new razor and gear to make their way to me courtesy of the USPS.

Outside of shaving, I brew beer and I'm a die hard Oakland A's fan (even more fun to be an Oakland fan in Seattle). Oh, and I like to type a lot...some say long-winded.

So, I'll finish with, if anyone has any recommendations for Seattle area razor shops, they'd be much appreciated, and thank you all for an incredibly useful forum.

Best,
Greg

Welcome, Greg. You'll have fun here I can assure you. Thank you for introducing yourself. Living in the Midwest and only making it as far north as Northern California on your side of the country the only thing I can say about Seattle with my personal experience is that I like Filson clothing. Expensive but built to last and the customer service I've experienced is top notch.

Welcome aboard Greg, I was almost in Seattle yesterday the wife and I headed out that way on Monday morning with every intention of having Sushi at the place on the fountain steps at the Pikes Street Market but we stopped in Leavenworth and got side tracked at the antique stores and the neat little shops and never made Seattle... I did bring home 9 razors though wooooohooooo !!!!!

Always good to see another Nor'Wester here

Nice to meet you, Chris and Glen. Chris, I've never heard of Filson clothing, I'll have to look them up. Glen, wow, 9 razors, impressive! Although next time you actually DO make it to Seattle, can I suggest Taka Sushi? It's a bit farther North, but cheaper and in my inexpert opinion, actually the best sushi in Seattle.

Hi Greg

Welcome to SRP.
I lived in Seattle for about 10 years. It is still my favorite city.

I'm sure my barber from that time is retired now.

Good luck.

Welcome!

We're glad to have you here. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home..!
