Ya know, I gotta say....

Already did! I loved it, but it was too big to carry comfortably.

I really like Springfield's lineup now that they've removed "Grip zone" from the frame. (That was cringey as hell, and I'm glad they finally got rid of it... hopefully fired the person that thought it was good, too)

I promise that this site will help you spend your hard earned dollars with over zealous opinions to convince you in making up your mind.

Do you shave like a man or with a cartridge razor like an animal ?

I finally evolved during the Chinaflu lockdowns and now am a full-blown old school safety razor user.

I’ll never use a cartridge razor again!

Rather be a luddite than a cretin.

Probably drive a Buick too.

I assumed that most people understand the "relaxed" definition of the word luddite in this context.

i barely understood the "uptight" definition. remember, you're dealing with a buick driving cretin here.

For the purposes of this discussion, it means I'm not down with the latest and greatest razor and prefer to use the original designs.

In all seriousness. Welcome.

I've only been here for a day but I really like this place. You all seem very nice and not rude or frothing at the mouth, just looking for an excuse to belittle or insult someone, especially the new folks.

Been struggling for a while to find a place where I can talk knives/guns/gear with normal people, and it looks like I finally found a good place. Thank you all for having me, it's great to be here! I'm glad I found you.

Welcome to the forum from South Texas.

I'm relaxed, I'm lying down and anymore relaxed, I'll be dead

By the way, this is my shave for the day today. 1931 Gillette “New” with a Feather Hi-Stainless blade , Simpson “The Duke” badger brush, B&M Fougere Gothique soap, Razorock Tuscan Oud aftershave.

you are one civilized luddite. it's no wonder you don't associate with us mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, multi-bladed razor/barbasol shaving cretins.

this is a good group of people on this forum with a lot of knowledge on just about every firearm. i've had many questions answered here as well as had a lot of laughs. there are a lot of ongoing jokes that you'll pick up on. these include but are not limited to: buicks, hi points, chickens, chicken coups, curmudgeons, cretins, vintage razors vs 5-bladed bics, minions (that have not been seen in quite some time), the gatekeeper of spelling (who has also been absent), british guys and italian shoes, an ongoing bromance that will become painfully obvious, and a guy named @BET7 who is singlehandedly responsible for most firearm shortages worldwide.
so, grab some popcorn and welcome to the asylum.

Me too. Double edged safety razor and hammer fired gun. I don’t know why we’re assuming that cretin and Luddite are mutually exclusive.
