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!!

You are right, most of us (not us but the people) that use what they see in TV
even when it comes to colgons, every one knows of all the things like Hugo boss and so on
But, not everyone knows of Talor and so on
I think that if there was a big advertisement of these things, more and more people will begin using it again

So at first i thought i wanted the good "old timey" feel of a naked blade.
Hobby, it is just a hobby!
After that I said i was preserving a bit of history.
Very soon i said "Straight razors allows me closer shaves.
Every one is trying to help save the enviroment this is part of my share.

Naturally, Straight razor use saves money and the kids need tuition.
Other people will pay good money for my restored razors
Why take the easy way, when the other is frought with excitement?

But everyone else is happy with the throwaway lifestyle.
Others kept saying how great the straihgt razor community is.
You all understand society made me this way.

now that i have enjoyed the cathartic first step... i'll follow the advice.

Ha, yeah we love you man

Here's my dad's email signature:
We're all pretty crazy some way or other; some of us just hide it better. "Normal" is just a setting on the dryer

I thought the 12-step program was to

1. Start with 5/8" full hollow
2. Try 6/8" full hollow
3. Half-hollow or wedge

No Josh is up to a machete...

Some people do indeed think I am weird.

Not only because of the straights though. For example: my idea of holiday fun is to sit in the shade on a sunny day with a cool drink, reading my way through an 800 page book titled 'Windows systems internals' or something like that, or a Fantasy novel.

But the most important thing is that my wife approves of straights.
Using straights, I am cleanshaven most of the time. When I used gilette, I shaved once a week, and the stubble after 1 day hurt her face.

Haha, Nerrrd! No worries man, I'm one too. I go through web code for fun. Cascading Style Sheets are an interesting read to me, or a Forgotten Realms Novel.

I have told my friend that I have done a shave with a new thing today
What did he ask me?
If it was a Mach-5 (fusuion)
So how does it come to this that only few people these days really appreciate a real good manly shave?
Why every one do what the commercials tell them? even when it cost them more, and give a less shave?

the first thing i thought was your dad thought it was weird....i'm assuming you're at LEAST 18 and above and you're dad is somewhere in probably the 40 and 50's...and all these new technorazors came out in the past 10 years what was HE using? anyways, calling it weird is inaccurate, different and unique would be more suitable terms...dont' worry about a darn thing, shave and enjoy. my roommate can't understand my new obsession, i call it art and class. i haven't received my new shave products yet but damnit i can't wait.

I've read that one - it's 799.75 pages of errata and bug 'patches', and the last quarter of a page is the contents....
