Thread: The Art Of Shaving

We are in a mall for the Apple store, random shopping and lunch, not a bad day until I stepped into The Art Of Shaving. Three people working a store that no one goes into. So black suit steps forward and comments on my interest in the straight razors, about 5 TI's except one just marked Solingen...on the side I saw. The guy was a salesman but knew nothing about what he was selling. Ok, jobs are scarce, I'm not blaming him. I open the rams horn scaled TI, hold it in the position, then close it slowly......the blade closes exactly in the center of one of the scales, not between the scales. Politely, I mention this to him...I think what might happen is someone will close this thing and possible damage the blade....he mentions the tape on the edge and quickly follows up with of course, these are demo's only. Still....I left the store feeling like they were doing a disservice to this worthy pursuit. I don't think they could even be considered a gateway drug (so to speak)......bleak, the whole experience seemed so shallow compared with the richness that I have experienced on this forum.
