Thread: A Morbid Consideration.

Being that today is Friday the 13th and no doubt some of you will cross a black cat or walk under a ladder or break a mirror you know what's in store for you. Of course being Friday the 13th the misfortune will be increased tenfold so it's time to consider an issue when it's your time to leave this earth. Before the chosen disposal method how do you want the mortician to groom you? You want that final straight shave? Are you afraid he may cut you? Are there specific shave products you want used? Maybe a favorite razor to be used and accompany you to your reward where-ever that may be.

Come-on this is important stuff and we all want to know.

I plan for cremation, so there may not be much to shave.

i usually shave first thing in the morning.. so i'll probably still be bbs when my time comes.. if i happen to pass away in the middle of the night.. i suppose a night shadow will be okay for my viewing..

When I shake this mortal coil, my family can do whatever they want with the body. Similar to an old Z28 I once owned - I only washed and polished it when the temperature was in a specific range. I only used a specific type of oil and I did all the work myself. All of which was because I liked the result and the process of getting it there. I sold it when I joined the Navy and now, it is someone else's concern. But, I've moved on from that car, just like I will move on from this body and life.

Although statistics tell us the ratio between birth and death is 1:1, I plan never to die....but if I can't avoid it i wouldn't mind if i was shaved with a straight because if he/she cut me open it would be the one time I would wouldn't bleed.

When we shuffle off this mortal coil ..... I have left instructions to build a bier with my hones. Lay me on top of a bed of strops and brushes, on top of my hones and place my razors on top of me. Using a Plisson HMW, torch the whole thing as I'm drifting out to sea. If I have a wife at the time, she is to throw herself onto the funeral pyre.

That's really funny JimmyHAD, on second thought i want so that when you look in my coffin you'd see me all lathered up with a big silly smile.

It would be a sacrifice but if you can swing that soon enough you'll win the lather photo contest ..... eh ... posthumously ....

Jimmy, the only thing you're missing is an oversight that the instructions are followed to the letter. I will most certainly be happy to provide it free of charge. Just make me the exclusive oversighter with final say over any disputes.
