Hello everyone!
I'm Crag, Matt Manzano on all the Facebook forums and Titanic_Treasures on eBay. I have been wet-shaving since 2007 and have been a member of nearly every shaving forum / group I could find, sans Reddit, since I just can't figure that site out...lol. I'm a 911 Emergency Number Professional and a member of NENA, which sets standards for 911 call centers known as PSAP's in the USA and surrounding countries. I am a solution architect and design multi-site deployments of the 911 system for governments, universities, and small municipalities alike.
I mainly use a DE, but on occasion will use a Feather DX razor...I've had straights, but my hands are too shaky to really use them efficiently since I can't really strop them properly. I had an accident changing a Nitrogen H Tank that left me with some residual nerve damage in my right hand, so I've adapted to using DE's primarily. I prefer fan shaped badger 2-band knots near 26-28mm, but have a fair few Synthetics, too. I'm totally addicted to shaving and am on an ultra high ingredient soap kick right now. I've acquired Tallow+Steel, Sebum, Nuavia, THB Tangerine Creeper, MdC Agrumes, and a good sized sample of Original, and a few other higher end soaps, over the last few weeks.
I'm hunting for a T+S Kyoto and Yakushima set, MdC Vetiver, and pretty much every citrus scent I can find....lol
I use Wizamet blades, and primarily face-lather, though I did just acquire a scuttle and a ceramic bowl so I'm looking forward to trying that out. My water is super hard where I live, so my soaps/creams need to be tolerant of that.
I guess you could say I'm just a big shave nerd! I hope I fit in... I try to be very fair in trades and sales, and look for the same from people I trade or buy from.
I'm always looking for a good trade.
Hit me up if you have any questions, just want to chat.
Cheers,
Matt
