Ahh, the innocence of a newbie to these forums

Sounds like he should head for the hills if he thinks he's not buying anything hanging around here!

Welcome aboard @silverlifter . I'm not saying everyone on here is as guilty as the next, but if there's any psychology students out there wanting to study classic enabling, there's a wealth of options here.

Yep, definitely joined the wrong place if he thinks he isn't going to spend any more money on shaving gear

Hi @silverlifter do you have any Japanese with Kamisori grind and if so do use single handed or ambidextrously?

No, they are all traditional symmetric grinds. I shave with both hands.

I started DE shaving when I moved across the ditch 20-odd years ago. About a year ago, after I joined B&B, I started straight shaving. I now mostly shave with straights, but one day a week I use a DE (mostly because I have a stash of blades that I need to get through).

I prefer vintage razors, and seem to have gravitated to Japanese half hollows. Something about the additional heft of the blade whilst still having audible feedback just hits that sweet spot!

Looking forward to contributing in the straight and honing boards, and will also happily chat about fountain pens and other obsessions. Cheers!

Welcome @silverlifter !

I use a Kaweco Sport fountain pen in brass myself. Luckily, that was the one purchase to get me out of that rabbit hole.

An AL-Sport is my EDC. Great little pens!
