Greetings and Salutations!

Hi everyone. I am an old hand (10+ years) at wet shaving with a piggy brushes and a DE (or, maybe a dozen DEs....or so....darn things keep appearing on my shelves). I just purchased my first straight from Mr WhippedDog last week and await its arrival. Luckily, I just found that a meet is happening near me in only a couple of weeks:
Mid-Atlantic States April 27th 2013 Get Together, Meet-up, Hone-down and good time

Woo Hooo!

Two weeks should give me just enough time to get the razor from Larry, cut myself a few times with it and beat the razor against the strop until it resembles an icepick!

I would like to take one moment to thank everyone who freely shares their knowledge on this site. I have been an unregistered reader for some time and have found many useful articles. Thank you.
