Hi, I'm Eric.

I've been shaving w/ a DE razor and a brush & soap since December, and I love it. I'm also fascinated by the straights, so I intended to pick one up this summer.

My grandmother, on hearing that I was interested in traditional shaving, produced her grandfathers' razors from where they'd been kept. So, instant heirloom and grooming tools. (There is actually a bit of a communication issue, it might be her grandfather and her father's razors, but either way, I'm happy.)

So, I expect I'll be lurking around here bugging people about cleaning, honing, and etc as I get them up to speed.

I'm a computer geek, part time author and comic artist, husband and father of 3.
