My name is Adam I am currently being held in Baghdad, Iraq. I am (EOD) Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician for the Army, aka bomb squad but since the Iraqis have taken over I am bored out of my mind and I am always looking for something to do so I have decided I will teach myself how to shave with a straight razor while I am here. If I am lucky my strop will be here tomorrow and I will be able to enjoy my first straight razor shave tomorrow night. I love what I do but I am more than ready to go home to my family. My home is in Des Moines, Iowa but I am currently stationed out of Fort Riley, Kansas.

I have already spent hours reading over some of the threads on this forum it has been an excellent source of information. Oh yeah, I'm not really being held it just feels that way.
