Welcome to the Cadre fellow Colorado Guy.

What part of Colorado are you in?

 

[ShawnF]

I thought I told you? If I didn't I am extremely sorry. I honestly intended to. Good to see you here either way Victor!

 

[Brew]

Welcome!

 

[Shavin’ Yeti]

What part of Colorado are you in?

I am in southeastern Colorado. Tiny little town, Swink, Colorado. About 60 miles east of Pueblo on Highway 50. Most people have never heard of Swink. If you are not paying attention you will drive right by it on Hwy50 and not even notice. Where are you in Colorado?

 

[bluesman]

I'm in Lafayette, about 20 miles north of Denver.

Welcome to the forum!

Victor! Glad you found your way here.

I'm in Lafayette, about 20 miles north of Denver.

So you probably haven’t ever heard of Swink .

What gear are you using? Have you been wet shaving very long?

 

[bluesman]

No, I had to grab a map to see where Swink is. I think I've only driven that part of highway 50 once. Though I've been down 287 and I-25 many times.

I'm a straight razor shaver. I like boar brushes and simple soaps.

 

[Brew]

Woo hoo, another straight shaver!

 

[CBLindsay]

Welcome, so happy to have you here. There certainly are a good number of straight razor guys here but the DE and SE crowd is strong too and they have some cool looking gear that’ll have you tempted to try it out. @Dave in KY hooked me up with a roller bar DE base plate that is mighty cool and he also helped check off a bucket list item, the Weck SE med prep razor so I can go from Sextoblade to SE in a flash.

 

[bluesman]

Oh! I forgot to add that I've been using straight razors for a bit over 6 years, and I've not used any other type of razor since that first day.

 

[Smattayu]

Welcome to the Cadre! What kind of set up do you usually use?

 

[The Monkey]

Oh! I forgot to add that I've been using straight razors for a bit over 6 years, and I've not used any other type of razor since that first day.

Wait till the guys here see your straights!!!! There will be no wondering why you don't use a DE.

In case anyone doesn't know, this is the man that instigated my little forging expedition. He was also the biggest help and mentor that I had in my journey. If it wasn't for his knowledge, amazing skills, and willingness to help a dummy with a lot of questions, I'd have never gotten started.
I'm not always the best at keeping in touch with people, but he has my eternal gratitude. He is a hell of a good guy!
