I am loving the SV/TSC Brush. I’ve been using it everyday since I got home. The Proline is going strong in the Vector. I enjoyed the Desert Vetiver Aftershave. Makes my face happy after scraping it, unfortunately the scent makes my wife have a coughing fit.
This past month has been a great learning experience. It really helped me grow as a person and get myself out of a downward spiral.
Have a great day Cadre!

- Simpson PJ2 Super
- Speick Soap and Splash
These great products produced an amazing shave. The proline keeps getting smoother while still cutting super close. The lather from the Speick was incredibly slick and the splash was the icing on the cake. I keep wanting to use a different razor but when I see the Vector standing on the counter I can’t help but reach for it.
It's hard to turn my Vector down too. I haven't the slightest idea how I'm able to do it.
Same here! It's a great razor.

The Tech was my first vintage razor. It took me quite a while to get great shaves from it but they don’t get close enough for my liking. I probably took my sleeping meds too early causing me to not remember what I used besides the razor and aftershave.
Last night the Vector and Lisa’s Barber Shoppe really took care of business. I had less stubble than usual tonight.
Tonight’s shave was a pleasure. I love the scent of Maggard’s Limes and Bergamot and the luxury of the and ergonomics of the Graydog fitted with the Maggard’s SHD knot. The Yates w/ the H plate was super smooth and efficient and the Speick seems to always deliver.
I’ve been going back and forth about talking about where I was when I fell off the face of the earth for a month and I think I‘m comfortable enough now. For the last 2 decades or so I’ve been quietly dealing with ever increasing depression and anxiety. It took living in my truck for 2 months to give me the push I needed to get meaningful help. I ended up as an inpatient in a psychiatric hospital enrolled in a military program. I have to say it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I learned a lot about myself and was able to work through quite a bit of stuff I’ve been suppressing over the years. I also reset my sleep cycle and am finally getting restful sleep for the first time I can remember. I still have a ways to go to get where I want to be but I feel like I’m on the right path and I’m looking at the future with positivity and optimism now.
I also want to thank everyone here at the Cadre for making this place a light in the darkness to me. If anyone here ever feels the need to reach out or just needs someone to talk to please feel free to hit me up.
Have a good night Cadre!

Brave to open up here John on your personal struggle. Unfortunately I know not only the pains of a mental health crisis in a loved one but also the struggle of trying to find the proper help for the loved ones with it. I'm happy you found the right help and are seeing improvements and praying the upward trajectory continues.

That is a very big step in sharing that with us. Thank you for the trust. I’m glad you were able to recognize the issue and had the courage to seek help. Great news that you found a program that was able to help and that you are making progress. I hope that your life continues to improve with each passing day.
I’ll also echo what others have said. Very glad to hear that things are going in a positive direction. And yes this site with it’s members. Is a sanctuary where we can go and be among friends. A virtual barbershop.
My local barbershop that I used to go to. Is still owned by two Italian brothers. And was always a uplifting place to go. I didn’t realize how much we can miss that fellowship. Until TSC.
Thanks for sharing your story. I am certain it will inspire others to seek out help if they need it.
