In my persona as Pope Razorfeld the First of the Church of the Steel Blade I wish to approach the controversial concept of single blade good, multi- blades bad. For yea, while there be among us the fundamentalists that shudder with dis-ease over the thought of even looking at a many bladed object let us remember that out first task as members is to not pity and shun the unknowing, but to give a reach out and enfold these mis-informed and misguided and lead them to the path of smooth shaving. Yea, a multi-object can give a reasonable shave the first few times but fails to produce a continual result. They do have their place. Emergencies do exist where the use is permitted in the by-laws of the C of the SB (and no dispensation is needed). Even the moderates among the brethren, those of the proponents of the DE and the SE, oft times are of negative toward the poor multi user. In this church of ours, where no hard and fast doctrine rules, I ask only that we all, regardless of our basic stances, open our heart and minds to those sad proponents of bad razors and quietly espouse the glory of the renewable blade and the joys associated with it.

As Pope I feel it is my duty to be the first to admit to a minor sin of usage of a (forbidden) multi blade disposable this morning. I encompass the use of straight, DE and SE razors as they move me each morning when I contemplate my morning Mass. I have the misfortune to suffer from, among various skin afflictions, very thin and sensitive neck skin coupled with a wiry beard. This morning my neck was overly sensitive to the straight I was using and I reached for a different razor to finish my neck. Without contemplation my hand took a double blade disposable razor and completed my shave. Be it known I keep a few of the forbidden around to remind me of the good in shaving. I have counseled myself and have said five Hail Lynn's and five Hail gssixgun's in atonement.

Be it also confessed, that months before my conversion to the joy of straights, DE's and SE's, I was a regular user of said demonic devices. By accident I was almost swayed to not venture down the righteous path when I had inadvertently bought a card of Venus disposables not realizing they were women's razors. They must be constructed differently than men's disposables because the resultant shave had me singing the Psalm of BBS. But thankfully my sub-conscious mind reminded me that the Universe had a higher path for me and I quickly sought out SRP for succor and conversion.

Be happy fellow scrapers and rejoice each day during your Mass of Shaving.
