Analog

Going the Distance

I recently finished mailing 32[!] letters as part of the InCoWriMo (link) ‘challenge’. I put out a call online for interested parties on my primary social network(s) and the response was overwhelming. So much support and positivity among the analog lovers online. Some even asked if I wouldn’t mind becoming pen pals as a fun way to keep the project alive long-term.

Length

As you might be able to tell by the scrollbar in your browser. This is a very long read compared to my usual posts. If nothing else, read the first 1/2 or so of what is here. That’s the meat and potatoes. The hearty stuff that’s worth focusing on. The second 1/2 or so is examples and ‘what is KemoNine using for gear’. Feel free to skip the insights into my preferences, the first 1/2 stands on its own.

Full Disclosure

A disclosure. Why? Because I want to be 100% clear.

• I am NOT a paid shill
• I was NOT given products for review
• I sought the products listed here on my own

A Detour

While digging through the world of Safety Razors I noticed that there were a few Single Edge offerings available. Per usual, I couldn’t resist and detoured in my research a little to find out more about Single Edge Safety Razors and the blades they use.

Merkur

Before I get into the post, I need to call attention to Merkur. I discovered an interesting piece of advertising as I was doing research for this blog post. It was too late for my razor purchase but what I found may affect your purchasing decisions.

They have a promotional image with the text: “Sorry Ladies, Men Only” present.
