Being from the mid-atlantic, myself (and having grown up with uncles and cousins that were watermen), I was just teasing you. :)
Ahh very good! I had a brother in law that was a waterman for a while in Cambridge MD. I used to go trot line with him in the early morns. It is an addicting lifestyle. Medatative and just a joy to be on the water in the early morn. I can remember when I first moved there in 1974 we could purchase a bushel of "Jimmies" for $20. Now they are over $200 a bushel and I've heard $300 beginning of season. They are no longer for the common man. When I managed estates on the Bay and waters during the 90's I could have them everyday free from my own pot or just trot out to a waterman in my creek and buy them fresh. Ah for those days long gone now. I lived in Easton and St. Michaels' from '74-2001 ":-Dx
By chance on my Roku last night I found this movie with John Ratzenberger (Cheers) called the Village Barbershop. If you search Roku it's $3.99 to rent. Go to FilmRise Channel and it's free. Good story. Anyway by sheer desperation he takes this vagabond chick in, reluctantly that can cut men's and women's hair and give shaves. The first shave she did I got to thinking, these guys are already shaved of course, she's just swiping the the cream off and gives the appearance. But all in all it's a good movie about an way back barbershop. Give it 3.5 to 4 STARS. lol I'm sure Mr. Chaplin doing the same here. Already shaved, just removing the cream but FUNNY STUFF! lol
I refrained from posting a link to this one until I received the OK from the mods. Although not a straight razor shave , here is a short film by Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas,Taxi Driver,Raging Bull,etc) that he made while a film student at N.Y.U in 1967. I leave it up to you to research the symbolism of the piece. (Caution,if you have a weak stomach you may wish to avoid viewing.)

Yeah, thanks but no thanks! lol I started it and then ran the needle across the timeline to see what was the gore, saw about 2 seconds of it. That was enough. If I was not just in the genesis of shaving I'd watch it. But for now I don't need those images. lol Nice try Wirm but I'm still have the b*lls. I might no have the adams apple when done but the other yes! lol ":-Dx jack
I wondered if you guys could appreciate this? How sharp and honed these swords must be and how he wields them so expertly. If he doesn't shave with a straight razor seems he'd be a good candidate. ":-Dx jack
