Christian here, 17 years of active military service and going strong, living in Eureka, Ca,(if you don't know where that is don't feel bad, i didn't either till i got here.) a long 5 hour drive north of beautiful San Francisco. I'm new to both SR shaving and this site, and looking forward to learning both. I currently have a beautiful new Dovo SR that I'm looking forward to using as soon as i can get my strop(nowhere in this town to get anything close to usable)and a couple that I picked up from the sales around that i look forward to changing the scales of. (I'm in redwood country so that might make for a very nice starter scale) Anyway I'm looking forward to being a sponge an taking in as much as i can and hoping some actually sticks. I'm ready for the blood sweat and tears, well really only the blood part, as I'm sure there will be some.
