Many thanks to Hobbyist, who has generously sent samples of a couple of high end expensive soaps I otherwise would never have tried and has sold me some soaps for a great deal that I otherwise likely would never have gotten around to buying. He has been a great sounding board for all things wet shaving related as well.

I grilled up a sirloin last night. Oh man it was yummy. I had to get up and leave the table or I would've eaten the whole dang thing myself Smile

If I ever get out to the midwest I'm holding you to that lol.

Freddy sent me a few really classy fragrance samples which really kickstarted my interest in fragrances, and started my nose on a journey of maturity that I hope will continue.

Shortly after that, NeoXerxes sent about 20 or so sampkes of other fragrances to try, and even tok the time to write uo brief histories and deacriptions of each one.

Thes sample fragrances have been an absolute joy to experiment with and have really taken my appreciation for fragrances and scents to a level I never exoerienced before.

Andrew sold me a Slim for an unbelievable price.

Oldschoolsteel traded me a BEAUTIFUL Torrey razor that I absolutely live using.

Hobbyist traded me first strop and a great little shaver when I firat started using straights. I still use the atrop everyday, and while I dont use the razor, I am very excited to be able to pass it to someone else to get them excited about straights.

I also purchased my first straight on this forum, though I cannot remember the user name of the gentleman that sold it to me for the ridiculous pruce of $20. I was exoecting something just worthy of geinding on and practicing honing, but itbis a great razor that I am very excited to give to someone else to learn with.

Explodyii offered to hone my first vintage razor for me, free of charge. While I opted to buy stones and just give it a tey on my own, his offer really pushed me in that direction. I cant explain it better than that, but his offer gave me the luttle push I needed to bite the bullet and buy the stones.

Aside from material goods, the inspiration, ideas, input, and lessons learned on this forum are priceless and paramount to my success with straights and shaving in general.

Yea, I gave you 1 small thing if soap, and you sent me a ton of DE blades, more soap samples than. Can count, PLUS some full suzed tubs of soap that all have permanent spots in my rotation.

Your generosity FAR outweighed that little tub of Night Music.

I cant believe I forgot to put that on my original list.

Thank you drjenkins!
