Starting my 3rd year of wet shaving. 2019, 2020 was spent typical accumulation mode, too many soaps, creams, after shaves, EdTs, and of course, razors. Just finished a NB ‘21, which was a good thing. Realized I’ve way too much stuff, the software diminishes much slower than anticipated, even with 6-7 days of shaving a week.

Mostly an open edge shaver, have a nice balance of vintage and modern. SE and DE razors, of course, but I’ve been a little better controlled with those purchases.

Other tidbits…avid RUSH (the band) fan, equally for anything Peanuts related. Originally a city boy Cajun, moved to TX straight out of HS (and stayed).

BTW….b1hart=Blair
 
3rd year of shaving…. How much could you possibly have? I’ve been in acquisition mode for over 10 years, lol!

Welcome to The Cadre! We’ve got tons going on here. Regular Zoom calls, bingo games, weight loss challenge, and an upcoming anniversary and Convention (in Vegas!!).

We’re much more than just a wet shaving forum. Glad you’re a part of it!

Thanks!

I‘m not an inventory spreadsheet person for the gear….nor a daily shave log.

So…..that being processed right out of the gate:

24ish straight razors, 8 (?) of those being kamisoris. 4-5 SEs, 5-6 DEs. Soaps, creams, killed 3-4 in ’21, could do that again for ~7+ years and have leftovers. After shaves, EDTs & such….I’m a fraghead, don’t even count those. :ROFLMAO:

Welcome Blair.

You may recognize my avatar. It was associated with another screen name. Sadly the name is the victim of an assassination.

I really liked the shave journals where individuals can write about stuff they like for others to tak or leave.

I found that I can read through another’s journal and get a small picture of who they are without the need to wade through enormous volumes of other information. It made me feel like I was getting to know someone.

Have fun, glad you are here.
