I thought it might be interesting to hear what brought us all to the love of pressing cold steel against our throats lol?!!! For me there was a certain mystique about it that always piqued my interest, I was a 19 year old impressable young man who just started a apprenticeship for millwrighting, my mentor was a crusty old, been there done that kind of guy who seemed larger than life and harder than wood pecker lips! He just so happened to shave with straights and had a certain affinity / love for sharp oblects. I remember thinking this fucking guy is insane "badass but insane" needless to say he lit my fire all those year ago and well here I am now , and I don't think I'll ever shave any other way. I'm grateful for that dude telling me all he did not only for my career but lighting my fire for this wonderful and might I say damn near exclusive hobby we all enjoy. I'd love to hear what lit your guys fire and why you got into this almost lost art!?
