Thread: SOTD - Sun Mar 28th - Sat April 3rd

First I would like to thank everyone that has participated in last week's themed Hobby SOTD. It has been such a great joy and eye candy to see all the beautiful pictures, stories and hobbies. I feel we have all grown to know each other even better and what's most important, we have done so as a team. In the end we all share the same passion. Straight Shaving. This is what makes SRP such a wonderful place.

We will definitely organize some other themed SOTD's in the near future. So stay tuned.

Thanks again from the whole SRP team.

Yes that was a great week! I was tickled that so many str8 users have many of the same hobbies. I thought I was an odd bird for enjoying so many things from the past (Fedoras, Pipes) and it turns out that many of the folks here like the same things! Not forgetting the modern suff also, guns and fishing. Thanks Gentlemen!

It's been over a month since I've shaved with this razor, it used to be number one in my rotation, then one day while very sick and coughing like crazy I cut myself with her, and didn't have the nerve to shave with her again.

Today's shave was amazing, it's truly a litesaber.

Cheers
David

Wonderful opportunity to test-shave a restored razor I just got back from Undream!
