Thread: The Alphabet according to Straight Razor Shaving

I thought of this idea whilst I was having my last shave. One person starts the process with the first letter of the alphabet and thinks of something shaving related (ideally straight razor shaving related) beginning with that letter. They then name that thing and give a brief description of it. The next person along takes the next letter and does the same. Progressive, see? Some rules however. To make it harder each person can only post one letter per post. So no posting two or three letters at once. Also try to only stick to each taking one letter per alphabet. Wait until the alphabet starts anew before taking your next turn. Unless this thread is dying in which case ignore that rule Try not to use the same thing twice. So the second person to come to 'Z' we have trouble, but its not impossible. I suggest you make a quick post to make sure you have your place in the alphabet to before editing the post with your letter and definition in it.

EDIT: If you are quoting from somewhere it might be an idea to say where from eg wiki. But nobody said you cant use your own words

So perhaps without further ado.....
