Hello from a longtime lurker

Hi,

So....... I've been lurking on here for a while now as you guys can see from my join date. I've so far had the pleasure of dealing with Ben on the BST forum and I have to say I've been treated with the utmost respect.

Well, I recently came across the thread by Emanuel (Oversaturn) about the Semogue LE for the BarbearClassico forum on here and was so smitten with the Mistura, that I joined their forum to get one. So, here I am feeling terribly guilty, and decided to finally take the plunge and formally introduce myself on here.

I'm from Leeds, UK and have been wet shaving for nearly 3 years now after years of rough shaves and ingrown hairs from carts and canned goo. I initially changed over for the above reasons and to save money but was soon overcome by the multiple ADs and I've never looked back.

I first started with DEs and have since settled on straights and the Feather AC (when time is a constraint). I'm still acquiring brushes and soaps 3 years down the line, and SWMBO and friends are starting to think I have a problem (something I don't see to be honest).

Anyways, enough with my rambling,

I hope to contribute more in the near future,

Kind regards,

Ash
