Switching To a Straight Razor by Sean Bonner
Interesting...I saw the EXACT same article (verbatim) posted elsewhere.
It is/was well written, but the re-use of the article sort of kills the mood for me....
Ahh, if you click the link at the bottom you get the original (non-commercialized version, with the original photos).

I take it this blogger is a plagarist. Are there legal penalaties for such?Quote:

Not plagiarism. It appears he sold his post for syndication.
Opinions vary, I just value a blog more if it's not for profit....money has a way of clouding the sharing of honest opinions.

+1 on your comment re: plagiarism. Few people know that. :tu
Yeah, I used to be (and am getting back into) very active at generating content (Blog and Youtube). I was talked into monetizing once, and it lasted about a week and I switched back to non-profit. There is something really pure about doing things for the enjoyment ONLY.Quote:

I find if I get paid to do something it just becomes a job and takes all the fun/enjoyment out of it.

Bob, I completely disagree with you. I loved my job!!!Quote:

But I digress....

Assuming of course you are in a field that actually has sources of external funding! :)Quote:

A friend sent this over to me a few days ago and was how I found out about Hart. I was sold on those photos, the production quality was really top notch - the reprint is a disappointment.
While it doesn't spend much time on shaving w/ SR8s, this morning's Wall Street Journal, Personal Journal section, features a big spread on "In Search of the Perfect Shave." Mostly deals with using non-straight razors but does say, with respect to SR8s that they tend to offer a superior shave but also demand more time and money. True true but...worth it! Anyway, the thing I learned that I didn't know is that Gillette owns Art of Shaving. The article talks at length about the importance of pre-shave. Final interesting factoid was that Gillette watches 80 men shave every weekday morning at its shave-technology center in Reading, England.
Yep, been there, done that. I got really drunk with a visiting prof one night and decided the next day to get out. He won the Nobel prize the next year.Quote:
