In the Yukon they have a term for people who can survive the winters there, Sourdough. One who has learned the necessities of far northern survival through first hand experience and can leaven bread in January without yeast. Today they just pay a baker to do it for them, but still attach some meaning to it. Then again, these days they also use disposables, eh.

Is there a term for you wise ones of the perfected shaves? Is there a one thousand shave pin I can expect?

And tell me this! Is it really a fact that you have grown to prefer those mad-hatted 6ths & 7/8? Is it simply the machismo of carving with an axe or is it some part of an inner circle of shaving? What is the truth?
