Yup, good jokes and dinner, yeah OK.


Now,.....back to our regular scheduled topic.

Thanks in advance.

I don't mind the term "traditional wetshaver" (could be a conversation starter), but the problem is that it isn't exclusive to straight razors as it also includes DE's and SE's. Not necessarily a bad thing for me, since I use both SR's and DE's.

Now we're getting somewhere!

My entirely google translate-based idea (it has been way too long since I studied German) focused more on the obsession with, rather than use of, straights but I think it has promise nonetheless: Rasiermesserbesessenmann :)

Depends on how one defines 'real'... I google translated "razor obsessed man" and then smooshed the resulting three words together.

After thinking about it more and we always being bombarded by the multi blade manufacturers it occurred to me that in direct contrast and still encompassing the DE and SE users -- Singlebladeshavers -- .

I would like to consider us connoisseurs in the art of the enjoyable shaves.

Ooh hells yeah! How many points would that score in a game of Scrabble or wordfeud? And is it rasiermesserbesessen or rasiermesserbesessener?

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that-like so many words-Words With Friends for Facebook might not accept such obfuscated lingua. :(

(Ralf)

“Gentlemen of old school shaving”
"straight shavers”
"straight razor shaver"
"wet Shaver”
“cut throat razor shaver”
“Razor Geezer”
"Classic shaver"
"Tonsorial Technician"
"traditional wet shaver"
"Rasiermesserbesessenmann

"Singlebladeshavers" additional contribution

Thanks Guys,...sorry I mean "Razor Geezers":D
Great responses from everybody.
Clearly there is no one descriptive name that overshadows all the rest,... it is more of a matter of choice
My favorite from Razorfeldk..."Singlebladeshavers" which includes both straight and safety shavers.
And "Straightshaver" or "Cutthroatshaver" for strictly SR shavers.

Yup, I used to work out in a university gym and had a locker where I kept a seven day set of razors. One day I was at one of the sinks shaving when an older gentleman came in and pronounced, quite loudly, "GOOD GOD, A STRAIGHT MAN!"
