    Default Men's Journal "article" on straight razor shaving

    This is precisely why I despise men's magazines with their recycled camouflaged paid advertising…

    Ya, that's a pretty blatant advertisement.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    "A beginner's kit will only cost you $29 for a blade, strop, soap, and full-color eight-page manual on how to shave properly and safely."

    That has to be a typo for the kit to be $29. They must have meant $299.
    A fool flaunts what wisdom he thinks he has, while a wise man will show that he is wise silently.

    No, that's about the price of some of those on e-bay
    The easy road is rarely rewarding.

    The people don't know what they are in for do they?

    you'd be surprised how many suckers there are out there.

    This set cracks me up!

    Nothing better than a blunt gold dollar for a beginner to learn the art of straight razor shaving with. Talk about a throw in the deep end.
