    Default Slippery Slope

    With my retirement just a few months away and having made the decision some months ago to go back to wet shaving, and loving every minute of it. The natural progression of things took place and straight razor shaving followed, as I knew it would. I have time for it and I have enjoyed all aspects of it including this great house you folks have here. The learning curve is as steep as you wish it to be. An amazing amount of information along with some outstanding people are a very welcome part of my life at this point........anyway on to a pic my newest razor that I got to shave with today thanks to SRD, and more of my rotation. Pleasure getting to know all of you. RAD.....mercy!

    My Livi.....what a shave.


    NOS Revisor "Jade Ghost"....

    NOS Weltmeister...


    The "crew".....



    The aquisition.......I hope to see it come home this year restored to all of
    it's former glory.......



    Also have a new Hart Steel (I've not used yet) away with Stefan for a scale job.......very excited about this one.

    I'm 64 years old, survived a terrible year in Vietnam in 1966 as a US Army Pathifnder and survived an open heart 3 vessel by pass last May. My wife is happy with her things and I have a new enjoyment. God's speed to all of you and thanks for the home!

    Thanks for sharing your gear and for your service in Vietnam. You have very nice razors and am glad you are able to enjoy the art of straight shaving.

    I believe that bottom one is the W&B India steel mis-described as a Bow razor on the bay ? Love the thumb notch/hump back tang and the smiling blade. I had my eye on that and glad it went to one of us. A gorgeous collection of fine shavers you have there.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
