Thread: You might be a straight shaver if:

When you walk in the antique mall and the 87 year old man that works there...yells..."we have some more straight razors and a strop too" He gets so excited when I visit. LOL

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 understand this statement.

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!
