    Default Coming Up on One Year

    About the middle of April I'll be celebrating one year of straight shaving. From an almost comically catastrophic beginning, I've come to love my morning shave. This morning, using an eBay purchased razor i cleaned up and honed myself, I enjoyed a close shave in two passes, WTG/ATG, no cuts or nicks, smooth face, and a great feeling of enjoyment.

    I'll probably post some musings about this first year when the anniversary comes round, but this morning's shave was just so much of what I was hoping for when I started, I wanted to just give a shout-out to all the straight guys here.

    It's great when something we have to do every day anyhow can become such a source of pleasure, even elegance.

    Congratulations! I especially like the fact that it was a razor you brought back to serviceability yourself. That is a well earned satisfaction. I am just a bit past that first year myself and the Grateful Dead lyrics about "what a long strange trip it's been" certainly apply. I look forward to your further musings.

    Funny, I thought "Touch of Grey" would be more appropriate for Lawson....

    Congratulations Lawson, time flies when you're having fun.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Congrats,
    I know that feeling of accomplishment when you get that great shave from your own honing job, that feeling never fades, fantastic.

    Congratulations! I'm ten months away from such an anniversary and probably ten months away from such good results.
