I'm brand new to the site, and I have yet to attempt my first straight razor shave, but I have had quite a few in a number of barber shops, always by a man. Now I'm not trying to put any women down, but a man knows how to shave a mans face. I'm in nursing school at the moment, and in lab the nursing instructors, who happened to be women, even admitted that the girls in the class should get some practice shaving men, because they will most likely not be as good as most guys. Being the only guys in class, I got volunteered as the practice dumbie, and even with something as simple as a mach3 it was brutal. It's not to say that women can't be good, and I don't think you'll get reemed for that, its just to say that they don't have that everyday face shaving experience (I hope, haha). Situations reversed, who do you tihnk, on average, would be a better makeup artist, a woman or a man?
