What is your real name?
SAM
What are your nicknames/aliases?
Where do you live?
South Orange County CA
What is your age (or) generation?
35
What are you in the real world?
Engineer
What is your favorite shave setup?
You'll all be upset:
1. Old silvertip badger with hairs falling out at every shave. However, I just bought one of the relatively cheap Omega (silvertip?) green handle brushes on Amazon. See brush forum - we'll see when it gets here.
2. Palmolive cream
3. Gillette Sensor razor (not the excel, which I hate)
4. Homemade aftershave = 50/50 Mix of Witch Hazel and Vodka.
What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
Running; roasting coffee; Sailing; coaching daughters soccer
What else should the members of B&B know about you?
I used to use an Omega Boar brush (setola?), but didn't like that - too stiff. Tried the other multiple razor brands, but always went back to the original Gillette Sensor.
I have no idea of the make of my current brush - it has clear plastic at the bottom, ivory-colored plastic at the top, and a knot that is continually shrinking every day.

Sam, welcome aboard! Glad you're here.

[SIZE="1"]Ah... You can't beat the cold steel and the badger. All this electrical rubbish, little wheels spinning around all over the place for callow youths and peach fluff, Not for a man's beard. Razor blades for men! I think we'll have this on number 9. If you're going to have a shave have a close one!

50/50 Witch Hazel and Vodka? Really? How does it work, I've never heard of doing that.
Anyway, thanks for the intro, and welcome to the B&B
Peace,

BTW setola means bristle which implies boar so you're right in your assumption. The brush probably read PURA SETOLA, or pure bristle.
BTW welcome aboard. Drinks are being served on the lido deck.- Jim
