Thread: Got a wrench thrown in the shaving machine

Well, I got my first razor (just a cheap one with disposable blades and a guard, nothing fancy) on Sunday, and, for my first time shaving with a straight razor, it went pretty well. No major discomfort (granted, I was using just hot water), and only one nick, which wasn't very bad.. However, here's where the road ends, Im afraid. While my mom bought me the razor, and encourages me to use it, my dad, on the other hand, won't let me use it. And, as I live with my dad, that pretty much puts my plans for shaving with a straight on hold (until college, that is).


I've pretty much accepted the fact (as miffed as I am about it), and thus, won't try to fight my dad's judgement (he's never used a straight razor before, so....). Although I'll stick around and will be asking quite a few questions.
