I have spent the last few hours reading the many, many posts here. I am very excited to have stumbled across the site and look forward to interacting with many of you on the board.

I started shaving with a straight razor after getting injured in Afghanistan in 2002. While going thru rehab it was suggested that I get a hobby and a guy I was friends with had a razor and it kinda took off from there.

I enjoy sharpening and shaving. Now a days with three kids, a wife and a dead end career, my shave time keeps me looking forward to the end of the day.

Again, I'm looking forward to more of the forum!
