I've decided to remove myself from shaving forum activity for a while.
I know I'm not among the most active forum members, but I like to think I've done my best to pass on a pearl or two of wisdom over the last few years.
I feel this game has got a bit out of hand - buying, selling and lusting after the next best razor/soap/brush etc. (Despite having enough shaving gear for every man in my street). This is a far cry from where I began, with one razor, one blade of choice and one tub of Trumpers at a time for over seven years.
I thought I had it licked, and that I was content with my lot - but it's still there. . .
I liken it to being a kid in a sweet shop and wanting every piece of confectionary on the shelf.
This is not a healthy way for a 50 year old man to carry on, so leaving the forums will hopefully remove some of the temptation.
I am leaving with only gratitude and respect for all of you guys - (there are a few among you who have deliberately gone out of your way to do me a good turn (you know who you are, and I am sincerely very grateful to you).
I may be back sometime, but until then please all be safe and happy.
