“I am in my mid-50’s and I work in the telecommunications department of a large university.\u00a0 My job has nothing to do with shaving!\u00a0I have a college degree in the engineering part of radio and TV broadcasting, though I left that field many years ago when I moved into the telecommunications field (the two industries are similar in many respects).\u00a0I have been married to a wonderful woman for almost 10 years now.\u00a0 We do not have children (unless you count our two cats!). My wife not only supports my shaving enthusiasm, she is responsible for it! I used an electric shaver for many years until one day she bought me a barber shave. The results were so dramatic that I had to find out more about this type of shaving!\u00a0The full story is at\u00a0http:\/\/sharpologist.com\/about-mantic59<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have many, many razors, brushes, soaps, and creams.\u00a0 Pictures attached!\u00a0 However I would say my favorite products include a Merkur Progress razor and a Simpsons Rover brush.\u00a0 My favorite soaps and creams include Speick, Castle Forbes Limes, Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar, and DR Harris Arlington. [My knowledge is] mostly a combination of self-taught with advice from long-time wet shaving enthusiasts on the discussion forums. Wet shaving is a skill, like riding a bike or playing a musical instrument.\u00a0 It takes some time, patience, the right skills, and the proper equipment.\u00a0 Take the time to do it right and you will be rewarded!<\/p>\n

[My style is] very casual.\u00a0 I live in a small city dominated by a very large university so very few people dress formally.\u00a0Something about the way I present the material seems to attract people, so I must be doing something right!\u00a0I am considering creating a DVD but since almost everything is available for free from multiple video sites it has not been a priority. [My hobbies include] computers, amateur radio, and gambling!”<\/p>\n
