Intro from old guy from old Virginia

I am not actually all that new to the forum but, have been guilty of looking and learning without thanking and contributing. That's over. I have picked up MANY useful tidbits of information and some big ones, too. I'd like to thank Lynn and all the other, super proficient, honers and straight shavers for sharing their expertise.

I am a semi-retired former engineer, soldier, manager and salesman. As for my moniker: I wind my watch, pack my pipe, load film into my cameras, and sharpen my razors. I am not a luddite. I prefer "traditionalist". I enjoy, and would not give up, my computer or HD satellite television. However, I enjoy the rituals of accomplishing tasks with quality non-disposable tools. My spouse and offspring think I'm crazy. Tough!!:boohoo:

Welcome! Glad you stopped lurking.

Rock O' the Marne! Glad to see another Dog Faced Soldier roaming around!

throwing steel in the garbage bin is bad, mkay? Try explaining that to your spouse&offspring... if they get it, they won't think you're crazy anymore..

now srsly, welcome to the forums. SRP is a great place to help newbies AND veterans out... Enjoy your stay on these forums and enjoy your straight razor experience.

Welcome! I think many of us owe a debt of gratitude to Lynn and many of the other senior members for taking the time to mentor.
