You might be a straight shaver if:

**cybrok** · 07-09-2009, 01:37 AM

Just saw a similar thread on bladesmiths on another forum and tought it would be fun. I saw a "you might be a wetshaver if" on the other forum, but not really about straights.

So let me start.

You might be a straight shaver if:
- You chuckle when someone says "shaving sharp" about a knife.
- You roll your eyes when someone consider a 1k stone to be "fine"
- You look every old belt as a future pasted strop.
- You think Fusion users are heretics.
- You want to teach your father the REAL way to shave
- You consider having a sharp blade on your throat "relaxing"
- when someone ask you if you shave your privates with the same razor you use for your face, your answer is "Are you out of your mind?!?" (even if I'm sure some of you do)

Your turn, gone shaving.

I love it! Especially the comment about the 1k stone being fine. I remember asking my Dad if he had any sharpening stones, I think the "extra fine" one was 1k....psh....My Nakayama, now THAT'S a fine stone. 1k? That's pretty much the coarsest stone I'll let my babies touch.

I'll try to add a couple to the list:

You might be a straight shaver if:

- You think Gillette is most definitely NOT "the best a man can get".
- Seeing the price of modern disposables makes you feel oddly superior.

Can't think of any more right now....

.......If you wake up on a Saturday and tell your wife, " Antique stores? Sure, we can go to antique stores."

You might be a straight shaver if:

- You're always trying to avoid "Nick"
- Puma is for your face not your feet

You might be a straight shaver if

You have no hair on one of yer arms

You have no problem getting up at the crack of dawn, or staying up to the wee hours, to have the bathroom all to yerself

You actually have a bathroom (Shaveden) all to yerself...

You have more face products then the SWMBO, by far, hands down, and know what all of them do....

You might be a straight shaver if:

You know what razors you own, the years the companies were in operation, where they were located, what scale materials the company used, what grinds the blades were ... but forgot to get the SO an aniversary gift.

You decide the puck of vintage shave soap and mug you got off ebay is going to be the BEST aniversary gift you EVER got her!

if:
-"wedgie" does not make you think of your underwear
-"smiling" does not make you think of your mouth
-shower & shave is a reward, not a routine
-your "babies" are older than you are
-your PayPal shipping address is not your home residence (hiding new purchases)
-"porn" consists entirely of steel and/or rocks

if your "new razor" was made in 1903

if you see a Mach26 commercial and yell "Let's see it vibrate in 100 years !!" at the TV

you have the only kid in a 50 mile radius that knows that strop+butt= not doing that anymore

**gratewhitehuntr** · 07-09-2009, 05:34 AM

if your razor is 50 years older than your vintage hotrod..... you just might be

If you watch the preview of a Thai horror movie in which some woman hacks up her victims with a straight and all you can think of is 'I wonder what brand of razor that is?'...

If during this preview you are thinking 'Don't do that, blood is corrosive to razors!'...

If you find yourself thinking its ok to kill the guy in the horror movie, but just don't hurt that razor...
