Thread: How much of this is silly nonsense?

At the rate I am going, I will have a different razor for each day of the year. How many razors does a person need?

The majority of people that learn I am straight razor shaving tell me I am foolish. They ask me why??? Go figure.

What about this thread?

Have fun,
Rick

I SHAVE NAKED!!
Well ok not all the time, but often, failing that I may put on a pair of boxers after my bath/shower, and I strop at waist height!!

Oh yeah, and whats wrong with a face cloth (Flannel in English) I use a wet one for err wet stuff and a dry one for (you guessed it) dry stuff when shaving.

Wiping your hands on your Robe is (IMHO) just minging! what does your girl wash your robe everyday? or by washday will it stand up on its own??

I think that what makes this forum great is the very fact that I find huge brushes, modern scuttles, and 30k hones silly, while many others think that it's my overly simplistic and old fashioned opinions that are silly.

The same can be said about our discussions on politics and religion.

Have you ever heard a room full of devout baptist republicans have a moral debate? I have, and it's incredibly boring. Throw one atheist democrat in a room with them, and things get interesting.

(That's not a comment about baptist republicans or atheist democrats. They're just an example I've witnessed personally. The idea is having a room full of people who already agree attempt to debate something)

I welcome and thank every person who disagrees with my views in this thread, just as I welcome and thank everyone who has kept the jokes and sillyness going.

Hahahahah +1 on that
All of it, I even heard the little disclaimer you put in brackets at like 100mph, like the small print they read out at the end of commercials Hahaha

Thanks for this Steve

1. Using a shave brush as big as your head. What's the point? I have a big face

2. Insisting on creating enough lather to fill a quart jar for every shave. I said, I HAVE A BIG FACE

3. 30,000 grit hones. Seriously? 30k? WTH for? Big and sensitive, that is.

4. Modern scuttles. Completely useless, especially if you just use them with hot tap water. Discuss. This works if you have the right scuttle, thin-walled and IMO, small, so the brush contacts the walls. In other words, it's probably useless for you since YOU NEED A BIGGER BRUSH!

5. I'm almost scared to mention this one.... but I've got to include taping the spine of every single razor for honing. Because I am pretty sure my wife will sell all my razors when I die. Except a 7 day rotation that I will specify in my will that I be buried with. Ironically, the mortician will probably shave my face with a disposable BIC.
