Back home after the trip to NYC for the wedding and so I'm back to my normal AA setup.
But the real big news about today is that I was reminded via Facebook memories that it's my wet-shaveaversary. 10 years ago today I had my first wet shave with Proraso, a sweet little Omega boar that the handle has since broken on, and the shittiest shavette imaginable.
I've told the story several times before, but I randomly decided one day to pick up wet shaving and decided my upcoming trip to Italy was the best way to pick up gear. I wanted to learn to shave with a straight at that time, and figured a shavette was a good entry point to that.
I was wrong.
It was a terrible shave and I didn't buy any post shave products, leaving my face to ache for like a day.
But I stuck with it and look where it got me, I now spend all my time talking about shaving and helping to run the International Shaving Olympics.
Look how far I've come in a decade.
