Why does people think of us as a "weirdos" ?!

Thanks Lou !!!!!! Now I have a complex...:roflmao

welcome to the freakin' club!!

-whatever

Dammm now I see why my wife looks at me like I have two heads. She thinks I am crazy and she is right for a change...:roflmao

I don't know if it's the people I hang out with, but they don't think it's weird so much as scarey or lower socio-economic or something along those lines.

The typical response I get when I tell someone I use cutthroats is that I must be a bike-gang member who goes around administering the Chelsea Grin on people who look at me funny. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course. I've never been a member of a bike gang....


(what YOU lookin' at, mate?)

Very nice to hear all that stuff
I wish more people that arn't familiar with "real" shaving will see it :hmmm:

I do think that every thing that goes with wet shaving, where it is a DE or a str8, is GREAT!

Pitty how many people I know spent something like 20$ a month or even more only for their blades for the Gillete :eek:

(Not include Gels and so on)

and after all of that, for a friction of the price, we get a much better shave
Funny, isn't? ;)

Why every one do what the commercials tell them? even when it cost them more, and give a less shave?

They are called sheeple and have no idea that they can think for themselves. Everybody dances in beat with the bass drum. If you look around sometimes you will see a person who hears the snare instead, they are just a little out of step with the rest.

If you look back at a lot of old tools they work very well, but they were expensive to make, Sound familier? Sure you can go buy a new cheaper razor, but it is not better, just cheaper. It does work just not as good, but "they" will convince you otherwise.

The only thing I want to do with a Mach anything is in relation to the speed of sound. Such as I'am flying at mach.92 or mach 2.5


Now be careful with that razor you'll shoot your eye out!!

I dont know about a fraction of the price, I bought my first straight about a month and half ago, and now i have 7 in the mail that should arrive shortly. And i am still bidding for more, i attemped to by a lot of 11 for 250us but thankfully someother madman outbid me, I believe its Antiker something, anybody know this man? he trys to scoop up every decent blade out there. hes cramping my style

hmmm...weirdos?
NOthing could be further from the truth I tell you:nono: . I mean it's not like we are fanatical about BBS shaves, own more razors than is ever needed, and have spend hours reading a shave foru...ooops. I guess we do...:thinking:
Ok, I guess I'll see y'all at Straight Razors Shaver's anonimous

I'm not bothered by them. I look them stright in the eye and tell them they don't know what they're talking about, whereas I am in a position to know having been on both sides of the fence. Kind of hard for them to argue with that. Sure I show up with the odd nick and that's when they tend to talk about it more, but those cuts have been fewer and fewer.

Here's a thought; the next time you see a family member with a five o'clock shadow ask them why their shaves aren't close penough. "Aren't you disapointed with a substandard shave?" :p

Oh get off it X ,the fact is you are wierd and so are the rest of us. If a woman told you she enjoys taking her laundry outside and boiling it in a big kettle and then beat it with a big stick and then wrang it out with her hands and put it on the line to dry you would call her wierd and its no different than us. yea we can say were "green" and its enjoyable and we get a better shave and its cheaper ,but really now. There are people who live without electricity and they think thats keen and people who still ride horses and won't own cars and many other eccentric things but in the end we are all different whether you call that wierd or not its left up to the majority to put a label on that type of behavior. I don't know about you guys but personally I'm proud to be a wierdo. Hows that?

Right on Bigspendur! My (user) name is Jimbo, and I'm a weirdo too! :y Although, in the present company I don't feel like a weirdo - weirdo-ness is a relative term, I guess.
