Thread: To: Teens Wanting to Start Out Straight Razor Shaving

(Nothing like that, guys!) Parker's 6 uncles, all the grandkids, 30 or 40 pounds of anything that could
be fried in Peanut oil, a tiny amount of "healthy" food, and NUMEROUS firearms, everything from
a pump pellet (and BB) gun to .45 cal hand cannons. This was WAY out in the desert, outside of Las vegas,
usually during a cooler month. No, no alcohol was involved, mainly because most of the participants don't drink,
and there were firearms present. At the final curtain, the assembled firewood (mostly pallets, "borrowed"from local
establishments) were doused with the remaining fry oil, and the rest consumed in a "pillar of fire."

Oops, forgot the go-cart, that Parker's grandmother (and my mother) loved to take grandkids for rides on.

Ddi I leave anything out, Parker?

Sadly so,, but hopefully an answer will come eventually!

I might get ripped for this one, but shaving is the one area where you might not wanna listen to your dad unconditionally.. Most guys born past the 1950's grew up on canned foam and disposables. Not much in the way of credentials. Unless your dad's a barber and/or his advice jives with what you receive here, make sure it gets filtered

Also, even if he knows a bit about honing, remember that the straight razor is a delicate beast. One member had a woodworker relative (used on sharpening plane and chisel blades, with the proper equipment, too) try to hone his razor. It was a miserable failure not because the relative was incompetent, but because he just didn't know the specifics.

Great post & vid ! Sounds like your young bro earned himself a slap for all his enthusiasm in the background..LOL...
PS We don't bump threads here but you're forgiven.

It was more of a thud than slap! And sorry!
