Thread: Four Words--What do they mean?

Ed,
First at the scene of the crime! Ed, do you think a harsh shave can leave the face more smooth than a buttery shave? Is this why some old timers make the switch from BBS with 3 passes to a 2 pass comfortable shave? Ok, here is my take on the language:
sharp= you do a TPT and your thumb bleeds and you cry
smooth= you do a TPT and notice that your thumb bleeds but you don't know how it happened
buttery= must be the convergence of the perfect prep, perfect cushioning lather and a properly honed blade that you have wielded enough times to know your face without a GPS
Harsh= The words that the old lady uses when you have been in the bathroom for 2 hours shaving

I teach music for a living, so if anything, I think we need some more subjective words to describe our edges..... hhmmmm lets go with 'creamy' .... yeah that's it, isn't it awesome when you get a great shave from a creamy edge

Might create some conflicts with the lathering language.....

Ok so a musical term for smooth is 'legato'.... that edge is sooo legato

Buttery as defined by some on-line dictionary: "Marked by effusive and insincere flattery."

So buttery as I see it should be a nice smooth shave where the blade passes through your whiskers as though it was a hot-knife going through butter... all the while your blade is whispering sweet nothings to you in effort to have you use said blade again tomorrow.

That would fall under "Honed Correctly" and more importantly "Used Correctly" see how simple it really is
