View Full Version : Smart Alec Introducing Himself

Hi, all.

My name's not Alec (it's Brent), some folks may think the only smart thing about me is my mouth, and Hi!

I rediscovered DE shaving back in October 2007 but just discovered the Den. But I've done no lurking, just jumping in feet first.

Acquisition disorder (of many types: razor, soap, cream, blades) has already set in. But it's one great disorder to have.

Currently, my preferred razors are the Gillette Knack, the Lady's Gillette, and the Schick Krona. Prefer the longer handles, TTO, and the textured grips. There are a couple of SuperSpeeds and Merkurs in the rotation, just in case.

Blade-wise, Swedish Gillettes are my preferred. Derby (sometimes) is a second. Have some new Treet and Dorco blades to try out. Crystal blades are the edge of terror for me. A Feather blade will probably never touch my face.

Creams and soaps. Just no where to start. Trumper's Limes, C&E Sienna, and C&F Limes are great. Got a couple of others in there to keep it interesting.

Aftershaves (you thought I was done? :D ) - Lucky Tiger or Trumper's Limes.

With all of that, you'd think my life would be full, wouldn't you? Well, when I'm not actively avoiding the jugular with a sharpened bit of steel, I do enjoy roasting coffee at home, writing, reading, got a bit of the fountain pen thing going on, a little bit techie (mostly via some idiot savant gift), find humor important, and don't take myself too seriously.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out by the pool!

I don't think I can post links, but for home coffee roasting you can type sweetmarias followed by a dot com and preceded by a www dot in your address bar. Great website with plenty of info, their green beans are excellent (no bad batches from them in five years), and the nicest people.



Care to share?

Nothing really to share. I enjoy writing and am working on several novels that may or may not ever see the light of publishing. Got started with National Novel Writing Month, meet up with an informal writing group now once a month, and just see what happens.

I strongly encourage both.

Hello brent. I have a women's gillette, its not one of favorites although I can understand why you would favor it. I am trying to get my wife to use it, but she seems to be stuck on those terrible disposable razors.

I believe the pool is right behind the den. Cabanas for changing to the left; bar and BBQ to the right.

Perhaps.

But where's the den? How do you know about the den anyway? What den? There is NO den!

My tin foil hat accidentally cocked to one side and transmissions from the mother ship got through. I hope I'm not in for a good stropping! ;)

The secret is safe with me, though. Den what?

If there is a knock on your door late one night, don't worry, it's just Will paying you a "special" visit. A sort of initiation, if you will.
