What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
Last year was a doozy, I responded to Sri Lanka for the Tsunami, NOLA for Hurricane Katrina, and Pakistan for the Earthquake. It brought new meaning to the term "off season travel".

When I'm not touring the wreckage of a battered civilization, I like to hang out with my lovely wife and my goofy Search And Rescue Dog.

I like to cook. And eat. And drink.

I collect knives, but have no "safe queens".

What else should the members of B&B know about you?
My last meal, if you asked me today, would be at the Oyster Bar. I'd have:
A couple glasses of Champagne
A Caviar Sandwich
Six Oysters, mostly big and briny East Coast ones.
Six Top Necks
Six Cherry Stones
A bottle of something Austrian or Alsatian
A Lobster Roll
A Mixed Panroast
A couple glasses of Ice Wine
Key Lime Pie

I am sensitive/allergic to almond shaving cream, but not to almonds.

I am a bad speller.

Hey Brother. How's the DE working out for ya? With so many of us USN people wetshaving, maybe we should all do a trip to a NYC shave shop for straight razor shaves.

Peter,

I've gotten into the bad habit of trying every razor and not really learning how to use any well! Oddly after trying the entire Merkur line, I seem to have settled on the Progress (where we started) and a Slant Bar (the only one I noticed any worthwhile difference with). I've also added 2 injectors that work really well for the days that I'm in more of a rush. On the up-side, I'm still getting more comfortable and closer shaves than I was with my old Mach3, so I can't complain.

I think mixing a meet-and-greet with shaving isn't a bad idea - anything that gets the local brothers together with sharp things!

Best,
Rich
