Cheers From Alaska

[BrianNippon]

Hello everybody, short time lurker, first time poster.

I've started off DE shaving about two months ago. I have a Parker 96R and bought a 115 blade sampler a month ago. The one that I am loving the most so far is the Feather, despite the "scary" notion around them, I've had quite non-bloody experiences with them. The only downfall of my experiences so far is that I haven't used any good lather. Thankfully to WCS, I just bought some St. James TOBS a few days ago and it should be here in a day or two.

I'm stoked to learn a bunch of new things about this (still) new venture in shaving.

Haha, which AA did you try? The winter pale ale is a pretty popular deal up here. I don't drink but the drinkers I hang around with are fairly big on it.

Congratulations and salutations.

A fan of the red hook myself (a beer I drank when on a contract in Anchorage back in '97).

And apologies to you good sir as you are from Palmer but I left my heart in Talkeetna.

Welcome!

i think i was in healy,,,, end of summer /bartenders bash. (end of august) unknown number of kegs. all the A.A. was gone already :( they had a stage and a few local bands played that night. it was a good time.

this was me on my last night there at,,(whats the name of that huge bar in anchorage?) and a strange girl i grabbed for the pic.

and the fish i caught ;) 8' 400lbs.

that was the Canadian discovery channel with the hydrolic hoist. (i was on t.v.!!!) summer 01'

[Mad Man]

Hey goatee,

Glad you qualified that it was the FISH and not the girl at 8' and 400lbs!

Welcome aboard! You'll be glad to learn lots of things here as I'm doing (I'm new!) As for lather, is Alaska water hard or the other way round? That could be a reason.

Welcome to B&B and GO MOOSE! (Graduated from PHS in '85)

Welcome to B&B! I loved Alaska on my one trip there, did some sea kayaking and some hiking of the old Klondike trail. I do remember thinking, though, that the state bird should be the mosquito ....

I don't think the water is hard, I'll see if my shaving is more effective when I have the right tools. The WCS shipment comes soon in a few hours.

BrianL, I'm not a Moose, I'm an Eagle but I still have to give some respect to a high school that I could throw a rock at from my window, haha.
