    Default tomato

    Was there not a move/tv show or some other source that i faintly recall where,

    TEACHING SHAVING (DE or SR of course)

    was by lathering a tomato and removing the lather with the blade. maybe i dreamed it?

    Seems quite applicable as they have that continuous radius like a chin and you'll know if you nick it. There might be lather making lessons there too, but i think it's mostly about developing the light tough required by sharp razors.

    if you cut the tomato, make a sammich.

    then try again.

    as i was shaving just now, i recalled that i may have heard of the tomato "shave" thing from older men discussing how they were taught to handle a razor--but that it was years before i had enough fuzz to even understand.

    I can't remember exactly but I believe one of our members posted video of barber school students practice on balloons.

    I've seen a barber shave a balloon. It's an impressive feat to witness. I think I'm going to set a personal goal to shave a balloon I'll start with tomatoes first.

    This will be a fine test for your admittance to the International Brotherhood of Spalted Cap Snafflers, but you must use a P-38!
