Thread: What do you think about SR shaving

I like the idea of shaving the old fashioned way and hopefully soon being able to maintain my razors the old fashioned way too.

I also like the variety of blades and scales, to me they are works of art which make shaving that much more enjoyable.

Hmmmm -- I couldn't find the button for "All the above."

i am a grown male..i grow a beard...therefore i must shave.. there is only one way to shave and we all know what that is...(now, which straight do i use? too many choices)

(what he said)

I shave to keep the damned whiskers off my face. In other words, I shave therefore I shave!

Straights just happen to be the best for the job at hand

Good one. That should have been on there too.

My feeling is that there are too many time honored practices that have fallen victim to modern life. We grab fast food instead of cooking, go to the grocery store to buy frozen vegetables instead of growing them, text and e-mail instead of writing letters. For just 15 minutes a day, each morning, I can get in touch with the past. And I love it.

Very well put!

Besides the satisfying knowledge of the art, I do it because I otherwise can't get a smooth shave. The disposables, M3's, and bladed vibrators do an excellent job of tearing my face to shreds. It's unacceptable for me to go without shaving, so I've simply chosen the best tool for the task.

Where's 'none of the above'
