Hello,

Thank you for allowing me to join in the discussions. I have been shaving tradtitionally since late 2015, with unmentionables. At the end of 2020, a friend who is a member here sold me the new Parker adjustable injector razor, knowing I liked milder razors. And my eyes were opened! I could not believe what a fantastic, almost effortless, shave I was getting. Then, in an amazingly generous loan, that member, Dave in KY, let me several GEMs and his Vector!! That was it. 

By January of this year, I have been experiencing the joy of single edge shaving, acquiring some new, some used, and some vintage SEs. I am sold. My unmentionables sit and wonder if I will pick them up again. Hard to say. But I am really happy Dave "enabled" me to experience the wonders of single edge razors!  

Eric

I am from Michigans Upper Peninsula (The U.P.), so hence I am a Yooper, and I live in Maine.

So Dave lured you in to the trap!!!

Welcome, make yourself at home.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Yup, this is me, if you are you!

Fairfield and Oakland, right?

Thanks,
