When you've got to go you've got to go but know that you will be missed and we will welcome you back with open arm's when you are ready to come back to the brotherhood.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.
When you've got to go you've got to go but know that you will be missed and we will welcome you back with open arm's when you are ready to come back to the brotherhood.
Take care, my friend,

I feel the same way mate - I have all the kit I need - fair enough - but you have to draw a line somewhere - I'm mostly put off by - applicants - that enter for PIF's - who emerge out of the gloom - and then descend back into it. Not a word heard there after. I'll probably - still - post some pics or sotd of the day - occasionally - the forum has changed.
