Hey Sharp, let me add my welcome to the SOTD thread as well! We enjoy seeing the great shave kits that everyone is using each day and talking shaves and gear. BTW, I used to live in O'Fallon, Missouri (Wentzville and Darden as well) back in the 70's. My Son and two daughters are still living in Missouri and I went back there to see them last year. That place has really grown! Hope to see more of your fine gear. (How could you NOT LIKE a Livi!) :D
Wow guys! Thank you so much for such a warm welcome. I've always enjoyed looking at the SOTD threads, now I can say it feels even better to post on it. I look forward to seeing everyone's gear each day. Again, thanks to all of you for your warm welcome and for sharing the pics, experiences, etc that goes into each days shave. Cheers!:beer2:
