Thread: What do you call yourself?

Yes we might just be all of those but,.....

Is there a "term" that describes what we do in the name?

I believe the word my wife used to describe was shaking the head and as she called me a, "Dumba$$!", then she said the straight shaving thing sounded interesting and hoped I enjoyed it.....

I've never thought of it in terms of how I describe myself to the world since, like most of us I imagine, I don't announce my grooming habits to the world as a matter of course, when I've spoken of others who shave with straights, I've just called them "straight shavers". For example, advising a newbie to find another local straight shaver to help him on his way.

Interested to see what others come up with. Hopefully there's something a whole lot better than my lame phrase.

Maybe that's it?

Maybe... I'm hoping someone has something a bit more creative though. Preferably a massive long German compound word.

Bill,vasily is my russian name,william,mr Bill,thats all I call myself.

I have used the term "Straight Shaver" and "Wet Shaver". It worked, but doesn't roll off the tongue.

Geezer..and I shave with a straight! Or; straight razor shaver or cut throat razor shaver. Depends on who I am talking with.
