Hello folks. I’m Claude in North Carolina and I’ve been reading Badger and Blade sporadically for more than a decade. You all have my gratitude for all the wisdom, warmth, and wit I’ve enjoyed in these forums.
I’m just another guy who was frustrated by the choice between an using an electric razor or multi-blade disposable plastic junk with canned foams and gels. I wanted something simpler and cheaper for sure but I also wanted a reliably good shave, which I wasn’t getting. Once I found my way to a Lord razor and a basic Omega brush packaged with cream, I knew I was on the right path.
I got more than a decade of service out of those two items. Early on, I bought a couple of vintage Gillette razors, which didn’t impress me. They languish in a drawer while the Lord is my daily driver. I think that experience inoculated me from most of the acquisition syndromes—at least until this summer.
Why, you might ask, am I’m checking-in now, after reading the board for so long? It’s because I need the board in two ways I did not before. One is that I would like to find a home for some of the extra shaving gear I’ve acquired. The other, more pressing, reason is that I want to join GRUME for a few months.
I’m hope you’ll accept me into the fold and allow me to participate some.
Thanks!
