Very interesting journal prompt.

Very cool! I might have to borrow that idea.

I think it's an awesome combo. It was actually my interest in traditional shaving that got me interested in fountain pens. All thanks to Badger and Blade!

Re: Combining Traditional Shaving & Fountain Pens
Same here...I got tired of my lousy shaves with electric whisker-wackers and uber-expensive cartridge razors and started thinking about how I first learned to shave with a double-edged Gillette razor. A little googling and some time spent on Badger and Blade got me back on track to high-quality shaves. B&B turned out to have quite an active fountain pen sub-forum (The Nib) and it just seemed like a natural fit. A couple of dozen razors, numerous badger and boar shaving brushes, and 65 pens later, here I am!Originally Posted by Mac37

While I don't visit b&b I did get started thanks to a PIF on the Shave Nook pen sub-forum The Ink Well. I have my thank you letter drafted and awaiting the mail for tomorrow.

It's a shame Gillette didn't move into fountain pens. We could have had the butterfly filler and twist adjustable flex from 1-9.

Cool shot and a cool razor to boot. Maybe I'll go home and take a shot of my Gillette Adjustable Slim next to my Super 21. I'm pretty sure both were made in 1962 (or thereabouts). I actually got into FPs because of the Nib sub-forum on B&B. Now I spend more of my time over here.
