    Default Entertaining the Family

    My daily shave ritual with a Dovo Shavette has become very popular with my family. They're pretty bored by the pre-shave preparation and the application of the lather and all that, but when they hear me pick up the razor, usually closely followed by some serious cussing, they rush to the bloodroom, sorry, bathroom to watch the ensuing fun. Their favorite parts are the first few good nicks, the screams following the application of the Styptic pencil, and they're starting to develop an under and over line through Las Vegas on how many cuts I'll self-inflict. They've really gotten a little bloodthirsty about it lately, chanting loudly "One more pass, one more pass" and "Go against the grain, daddy, go against the grain". They really like for me to get a close shave, and I think it's cute the way they tell me to go for six passes, the last three against the grain. It's nice to know that they enjoy my daily ritual. I just wish they'd help me clean up the blood, but they don't seem much interested in that.

    One of the funniest posts I've read!!! You'll just have to move on to a "real" straight. I've never tried the shavette but from what I've heard the edge is a lot harsher and less forgiving then the edge on a traditional straight so just give you a reason for a new one!

    I'm thinking there's got to be a way you can profit from this. If they're taking bets, get in on that action. If you win, you can fund the purchase of a nice new SR.

    I've tried that, but they are telling me that for me to be "in on the action" would possibly distort the result and be unethical.

    Hi LAsoxfan,

    I somehow get the impression that whenever ACE decides to quit the bloodbath, his family would be more than happy to give him a new SR to prevent him from doing so.

    But this might easily go one step further and then we'll have a whole new sort of movies besides the Mantic-movies on youtube!

    Good luck ACE! (you'll need it!)

    Bye,

    Eric

    The ways people get their entertainment now that public hanging and flogging has been abolished never ceases to amaze.

    There's certainly something mesmerizing about self-inflicted torture. Recently the dog has started watching me in the hope of a drop or two of blood going his way. I try to let it all flow into the sink, but he's still hoping and drooling while he sits there watching me.
