Hello all,

I have been shaving with a double edge safety razor for the last 30 years (I am 55). Sadly it has given up the ghost.

I grew up watching my grandfather shaving with a straight razor. I remember that he loved shaving and that it was an almost religious ritual for him. He told me that it made him ready to face the day.

I hate the thought of using cheap throwaway razors or the expensive cartridge razors that are sold today. I figure that it is time that I switch to a straight razor and recapture those moments that I shared with my grandfather. A more relaxing time where he spent time taking care of himself in the early morning hours and left the house knowing that he looked and felt confident and manly.

This a journey that I looking forward to.
