Greetings fellow Cadre, I'm cmh737, officially checking in - finally. Actually, I'm Chris H, and I live in Atlanta, GA, home of the world's busiest airport.
Shaving stuff:
I was always a wet shaver, but it was carts. I started out in my teens with a Gillette Trac II. I did use Old Spice soap with a cheap brush back then, but only briefly, then the canned stuff . Fast forward to 2013, and that's when I got into this crazy hobby of ours. I started out with a Merkur 34, which still comes up in the rotation. I now use traditional straight razors, as well as various DE's, and my most outstanding Schick IN...JEC...TOR!
My "worst" AD's: (1) Soaps. As of today, I've used 451 different soaps/creams/sticks. (2) Brushes. I lost count at 72 different brushes, but I've got them culled to about 25 now. (3) Strops. Oy, do I have some strops! (4) Fountain pens. Talk about a "rabbit hole"!
Some other trivia and interests:
I am a Life Member of the National Eagle Scout Association
I am a sports fanatic. I love 'em all, but especially the Olympics. Perhaps that's because I competed in the Junior Olympics (Judo) way back in the day.
I try to keep in shape, as best as I can, by working in the martial art of Karate (Okinawan Shuri Ryu).
That's about all I can think of for now, which is much more than anyone cares about anyway - LOL!
