    Default A little about myself

    Name: Eugene Slagle
    Born: Baltimore, Md. 40 years ago

    On my second but happier marriage of almost 11 years with 3 beautiful girls, 17 - 8 - 3.
    Master GM auto tech/mechanic
    Traditional Archer/bowhunter

    I tried SR shaving about 20+ years ago but kinda got into the rush of life & picked up the Gillete Mach shavers & then recently the Fusions but alas I was really never happy with the results of the shave & the cost of the cartridges, so recently I decided to give SR shaving another go & talked my wife in letting me get my first kit.

    I know I have a lot to learn but I can honestly say that I'm happier for my decision because like my Traditional Archery, it makes me slow down & enjoy the experience & eventually appreciate the results.

    Default Welcome

    Welcome to SRP! Slowing down is one of the reasons I chose to switch to str8s. What once was a chore to dispense with as quickly as possible is now one of the highlights of the day.

    Don't hesitate to ask questions. I'm happy to share anything I know, and there are guys a lot more experienced than me who are generous with their knowledge.

    Happy shaving!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I can definately relate to slowing things down a bit. The more I'm part of the rat race the more I want to get out of it..! And my daily shave is a chance for me to take the time to really enjoy the whole experience and slow things down.

    I find my days are much better when I have the time to enjoy a shave in the mornings. Or at least I dont get stressed out until lunchtime lol..!
