Gutted but I won't be able to make this. I think it might be the first Christmas North Woods meet I've missed, I truly love this one each year. Have a good one everybody!

Some cracking pics Steve, the colours and earthy Autumnal leaf litter smells were amazing...thanks as always for organising this and thanks to all who were able to attend. Good times as per usual.

Some pretty strong views against cyclists on here in the past lolz. That guy is real good but those bikes weigh nothing. Check this one out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-rAv43UFnA

Now that's a stunner of a time piece! Not the right time for me :rolleyes: to aquire another watch. I think you'll be gutted when this one leaves your hands though. Good luck with the sale...

One kid and I'm turning 40 this coming summer. This week my purpose in life has been to lower my wife's Astra Estate lolz. She doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as me yet. My kid likes it though...

I know you love your beard John but I also reckon you'd enjoy a traditional shave. Can't have both though lolz. My fix is edging my beard and a neck shave until I get rid of the lot in the new year. Best of both worlds I guess.

I might well have read the original post wrong but I certainly didn't mean to come across as harsh to anyone with my replies. I'm not saying don't grow a beard or don't use disposable razors. I read the o. p as a question about straight razor shaving and answered as such. Nothing against...

Great to hear, once a decent shave is experienced there's no going back! Cheap soaps aplenty that work well. You really need a brush and soap to take it to the next level. Canned foam just sits atop whiskers where a soap lathered into them penetrates them and makes the whisker stand up...

Keep at it, you'll soon get the hang of using the shavette. The cuts won't scar and you'll soon look back and laugh. A straight razor and safety razor are more aggressive than a normal razor, they take more off than a disposable razor. As a result it'll take your face a few weeks to get used...

Ya, chiggers. I have my share of bites. Like you I've had worse Phil but they had a good feed at my expense.

Indeed. My point was 'shave ready' being touted by nearly every seller can be very misleading to people new to the art. They buy a razor that is 'shave ready' and find it's shocking to shave with. They then put that down to lack of technique and generally end up sticking the razor in a drawer...

Glad you're still enjoying it Cliff, it's a fine hobby. I have to agree with Steve as well, when people sell a shave ready razor it will still need honing. You need to set the bevels yourself then be consistent with how you hone it in future.

Cartridge shavers clog immediately and canned shave foam sits on top of whiskers. Plus they're expensive. A traditional soap or shave cream worked in with a brush after a shower or hot towel penetrates whiskers and makes them stand up. If nothing else stick to the cartridge shaver but try a...

They're hard to find by certain makers and can be super expensive when you do find them. I only have the one, then again I only need the one. Far too many straights in my collection at the minute but I'm really fortunate to have this one as well. Apart from my Grandad's Whiskerine Anti Profanity...

Glad to hear you're out already... Thanks Phil for organising this and all who were able to attend. Was great to get out and relax for a couple nights, just what was needed.

I love using my kamisori. It's nimble, fast and super effective. Needs respect though! If you're experienced with a straight you'll soon be flying with one of these. The main difference is in the honing, it's completely different on one side due to the different grinds on either side of the...
