Thread: Straights being too cool for anyone.

So I read a lot of articles on this website because they usually get good facts and they are funny about their news delivery. I saw this article today though and had a laugh. Look at Point #2 on the list.


5 Awesome Things No One Is Cool Enough to Own (Part 2) | Cracked.com

And why is the blade taped?

I loved Cracked lol! Thanks for the share - I missed this one.

Kind of weird story though. They start off strong with the cool factor and environmental bent, only to close with... what are you trying to prove. Disappointing end lol!

A BoingBoing article about taking up the Straight Razor (less stuff, save the environment etc. etc.)

Switching to a straight razor - Boing Boing

I tried sending the author a note a few weeks ago to ask him if he was still at it..
Given that all of his photo's show him with the currently hip 5-7 day beard me thinks not...

And thanks for posting - and we all think they could have used a better image for a Straight..

Smooth Shaving, or what ever it is you are doing with all those razors...

Yeah that article and the part 1 of it all seemed to really be an anti-hipster bit. Otherwise I like there stuff for the most bit. Sometimes there photoplasty is dumb.

That boing boing article was good but the saying that dovo and other companies was sketchy was obviously off.

Gentlemen,

The author closes his piece by saying, "What are you trying to prove?"

Well, for starters, I would like to prove that the word is not "strap."

The word is "strop."

So. We are some 20's gangsters! Sweet!

All that closing statement is saying is, " I tried, and gave up."

1920s gangster hey.
I supose it possible, as I have seen some of you guys photos in the what do I look like thread which would back up this theory, so it may just be true LOL
