    Default Sage advice

    I'm no sage, a point my close friends will attest to. However, I will give this advice, which I will now stand by.

    1. Never give a demonstration shave to a bunch of friends at your birthday party.

    With the following corollarys;

    i. when hammered
    ii. without preparation
    iii. without a shower
    iv. without stropping
    iiv. quickly

    With my blood, I can attest to the fact that this is a bad idea.

    Regards,
    John

    The more I drink, the less good judgement I have as well.

    Last night I was dreaming that I did exactly that. I was doing a shaving demo with the W&B, without even properly looking at the mirror, for some reason I was really messing up the angles and had nicks popping up all over the face. It was horrible

    Yikes! Good thing you lived to tell about it, John!

    On a more serious note, I'll bet this (unfortunately) reinforced everyone's fear that straight razors are dangerous. Let's all be vigilant about these words of wisdom.

    Good judgement comes from experience...unfortunately experience typically is the result of poor judgement.
