Thread: On top of the Mountain in NC.

From the top of the top of the mountain East of Asheville, North Carolina I send you a hello,

I am new to the Straight Razor so here I am to learn. Have been shaving with a DE for over 34 years and still have the same one I carried through the service.
I find in my old age (past the ½ century mark) I like slowing down and doing things with more focus, thus the Straight.

I have been making my own aftershave for a few years now and going through the ritual of the high step dance when I slip. I have a Grandson that loves to come in and talk to me while I shave. So when I miss with a Straight and splash on the old Aftershave I am sure everyone will hear the stomping of my feet. If ever you hear major crying I touched my handle bar (Moustache) with the straight.


If anyone has any pointers to keep from losing one half of the “Stache” I am all ears so far.

Welcome to SRP.

Welcome, I'm from the Sandhills. Nice to see another Tar Heel on the site

Welcome to the forum North East TN here, attentiveness will be what keeps you away from the stash. Take your time enjoy the journey.

welcome to SRP !!!

Thanks to all that responded to my intro.

Pfries - if I lost the Stache I am afraid i would cry, the last time I saw myself with out one was when I finished jump school in 78. So to play it on the safe side i figure that I will have to use the DE around it for some time.

You will get it. I haven't been with out mine and my goatee since I was out of the corp. I haven't messed mine up yet....but a lot more cautious in that area for sure! Congrats and welcome. These guys have been great with all my questions!

Welcome to SRP! Tons of knowledge on here. When you come down the mountain for a visit we have a group that gets together in the Raleigh,Durham, Chapel Hill area

Brewdaddy it sounds like we have the same look. I opened the old war chest the other day and saw a picture of myself with out the Stach and just shook my head. Grandson wanted to know who the boy in the picture was. On a quit note - thanks for doing your part.

Nipper I will be contacting you when I come off the mountain. I can use all the advice and help I can get.

Thanks again guys

Mine came off for the first time in over 20 years, just so I could try it with the sraight. The wife and kids did not like it, its back now.
I look forward to seeing you around on the forum.
