I stopped by my barber and during our conversation I mentioned that I am going old school (one step at a time) and I am going to exclusively shave with a DE Gillette style razor until I move onto the straight razor. As he listened I saw a slight grin on his face and then he opened up and started giving me advice on how to use the straight razor and how to sharpen it. He really enjoyed talking about the topic.

After I paid for my touch up he stopped me and told me he had something to show me. He reached down into a cabinet and moved some stuff out of the way and proceeded to show me his stash. Wow! He has Puma, Dubl Duck and many others. He told me that when I'm ready to start using a straight razor I can pick one out if his collection. I always knew he was cool and a really great person but this just blew me away.

I gotta hurry up and get to my straight shaving soon!

And no, I will not give you guys his name or location. Sorry, he's my barber.
