    Default Hi, I'm Whiggamore.

    Hi, I'm Whiggamore.

    I often wait until I'm about four posts into a conversation to introduce myself.

    Nice to meet you all.

    I'm new to traditional wet shaving. My beard butchery started at 12 with a Mach III Turbo safety razor. She served me faithfully until I inherited an old Gillette safety razor. King George VI gave it to my Grandfather for his efforts in World War II. Personally, I'm sure. A year and a half ago I left Canada for Belize where I used safety razor blades with half the paper wrapping taken off, something the locals call "Gillettes". Belizeans have a habit of calling an item by the brand name first sold in the country. Bug spray is called, "Fish", mosquito sticks are "Zebras", etc. Eventually I won a Fusion safety razor. I use that now, back in Canada. It isn't as close as the Gillettes but my fiancee never complained. I also had a Braun electric razor for a while. Huge mistake.

    Before Belize I used shaving cream from a can. In Belize and since I've used Dettol brand bar soap.

    I didn't use aftershave before Belize. In Belize I used rum. Since I've been home it has been some Italian stuff with a pine scent.

    My fiancee is in Belize, a Belizean as a matter of fact. We're to be married on June 21. I'm very, very excited about that. Obviously.

    I'm just a young guy.

    I like 1 Barrel Rum and Romeo y Julietas' churchills. I'm in the process of converting to the Catholic faith. A bit of a young fogey, I guess.

    Enough though. Like I said, nice to meet you all.

    Welcome 'whiggamore' - a liberal mind is indeed a handy thing in a broad church such as SRP! The membership here accepts all denominations and persuasions whilst enjoying the 'craik'. No better place to find out all you ever wanted about str8s.

    cheers
    Stephen
