If, without knowing them, you know what your great grandfather used to shave, and what he smelled like. Heck you might even use the exact same stuff.
... you might be a straight shaver.
You are pleased when your face and your alum block are so smooth they stick together like a hone and a lapping plate.
You count the days it takes to get some decent growth before your next shave.
...if...as a man, your Christmas list consists of soaps, creams, fragrances, and brushes.
...if...you spend more time on the bathroom than your wife or daughter.
If...
You use something over 200 years old on a regular basis
You discuss soap with fully grown men over the Internet late at night
Your wife has less stuff in the bathroom than you do
You gladly pay $25 or more for shaving cream
if you tell yourself that a $100 investment in a razor is actually saving you money in the long run
You might be a straight shaver if you have spent a minimum of $15,000 on razors and stones. I could just scream...........
if the sound of a butter knife on toast gets you excited!
You know when you are a straight shaver when your two children are called Naniwa & Shapton, and you are thinking of calling your third child Tamahagane.:D

you can get a great shave without cutting any hair; and a terrible one after cutting all hair.
You might be a straight shaver if...
-your 5-year-old son has his own shavette.
-your 5-year-old son has his own strop (and knows how to use it).
-your 5-year-old son has his own shaving brush.
-you're tempted to use said shavette, strop and shaving brush... you know, just to be sure he's getting a good shave.
You might be a straight shaver if...
You've heard a family member say after repeatedly trying to get your attention, "He's thinking about shaving again."
This is what came home today enough said

You might be a straight shaver if you ask the above question... :D
Woke up this morning to my 8 year old grandson waving a bag with excitement in his eyes saying happy birthday "Boom Pa". In the bag was 2 new brushes and 2 new soaps. The excitement of a child and new stuff to shave with, along with a straight razor on the cake on your birthday. As well as you guys on the forum- - - - well it don't get much better than that.
To answer your question - - My face in the morning with my new Horse Hair brush and New soap. :y
Happy birthday!
