Hi Micah,

I saw your posting that you are starting to wet shave soon with a DE. If you are in the US I can send you a vintage Gillette Super Speed to get you started. I have bought and been given several razors over the last year and I have started giving away a few of the extras from around the house.

let me know.

Hi there Micah. Welcome to AoM. Your name reminds me of the prophet Micah in the Bible. One of my favorite verses is located there, Micah 5:2. Anyway, thought I'd also give you a friendly invite to check out my new group The Great Debate. Just click on "Groups." It's the one with the colorful galaxy picture. It's also one of the most active groups on AoM. In any case, great to have you aboard.
