    Hey Guys

    Have been a member here for about a year, but disappeared the last 4 or 5 months. Had some personal and work related stuff give me trouble for a while and didn't come online much.. Still straight shaving, restoring the odd blade, one at a time. Thanks to the guys who PM'd me to see how i was and wish me merry christmas and new years, there's some seriously good people on this forum.

    Anyways, didn't want to jump straight back into the the threads and start posting with gay abandon without saying hello first

    all the best

    Simon

    Great to see you back Simon.
    I'm glad things seems to have settled down a bit again, and I hope it will keep staying that way

    Cheers Birnando, going softly softly at the moment and trying to get back into the vibe of things. No new razors or anything exciting, got one i'm working on at the minute but that's about it, hope you're well

    Hey tekbow,

    Glad to hear you're still alive and kicking, and still using straights. I was wondering where you went. Anyway, good to have you back and hopefully see you around more often.

    Ryan

    Cheers ryan i work my DE in as well when i want a quick and easy, but it mostly reserved for when i'm at work. In my time away i've discovered that i'm not keen on 7/8 wedges doing anymore than one pass, but i do like thicker grinds, That i definitely prefer tallow and triple milled glycerin soaps and soaps in general to creams, that trumpers doesn't impress me like it used to (prefer C&E now),and i finally figured out what taught vs tight means in stropping. I also developed a bit of a wah wah obsession in my guitar playing. so i have more than one now.. thats going to start being expensive..
