Words of wisd..... Yeah right.... We all know better than that!

[BarberDave]

We are here for you brother

 

[GearNoir]

Glad you’re looking out for yourself Shawn! Glad you’re happy now. Great to see ya pop in!

 

[Majorrich]

I think a lot of men can directly relate to your relationship difficulties. Staying in a situation where you aren’t getting what you need is not healthy for you. Good for you to find someone who shares your interests.

 

[MilkCrate]

Glad to hear you are out of that toxic environment, no apologies needed.

 

[MilkCrate]

Thanks for the update...but no explanation or apologies are necessary.

Sounds like things are for the better right now. As long as your happy that is all that matters. Glad to see you back on and looking forward to seeing what the Forge can put out!

I got that Lansky knife sharpening set you talked about. Now I am having a hard time finding my knives! The knife I got from you though is still stupid sharp!

What Lansky set is that?

I got the Deluxe 5 Stone set...

I am liking it so far. I have destroyed knives in the past because I can't quite get that angle. This makes it easy.

Nice! I have trouble off and on with my angles as well. Thanks Don!

Thanks for the support everyone.

Shave update, Chrissy tested her edge tonight with her first ever straight shave. No cuts and bbs!

 

[ShawnF]

Well..... another reason I won't do videos. As I'm standing at the sink tonight shaving with a DE razor, my girlfriend is in the background shaving her legs with a straight razor.... I really don't need video evidence of that ding in the man card...

Dude...we all aspire to have our significant other shave using a straight!

 

[Majorrich]

Whew! At least it was just legs!

 

[ShawnF]

Whew! At least it was just legs!

I knew as I was typing that I would need to be clear with the area she was shaving with some of this bunch.

 

[Majorrich]

Other areas would take amazing skill and flexability!

 

[woodpusher]

Armpits are tough with a straight, as are inside the ears!

 

[NurseDave]

Can Shawn's gf take his spot on the cadre?

 

[ShawnF]

Can Shawn's gf take his spot on the cadre?

She's definitely better looking. Says she wants to learn to forge too, so she could replace me.

 

[ShawnF]

So after another long absence from my journal, I am back with another major update.
The 31st of this month Chrissy and I are getting married!

Just a small ceremony, only the official and required witnesses. We decided that we are doing this for us, we didn't want all the hassle and worry of keeping everyone else happy and just wanted our day.

We are going to try and get some pictures, so I will post something when we get them.
We told the rest of the families, so I had to let my family here know.

 

[CVargo]

Nice seeing you post Shawn. Congrats on the soon to be wedding.

 

[GearNoir]

Congrats Shawn! Great to see you pop in and with a positive report no less!

Your kitchen knife Rudolph gift from many moons ago still sees regular use, with its original edge, and I think of you when it sees use. Good to see ya!

 

[Scuttlesoap]

Congratulations!
