I'm Len and I'm eagerly anticipating the journey. I don't know why it took me to 30 to realize I want to make this conversion, as I have great appreciation for such fully engaging activities... I guess I never thought of it because I hate to shave. It's always been an uncomfortable chore of a hassle.
I've learned a lot reading through the newb sections, and I look forward to learning a lot more in the coming years. And especially to that first perfect shave (following all the partial and bad ones!)
