Thread: Thebigspendurs Weekly Shaving Brainbuster

Good evening shaving fiends. You have all heard of the 3 little pigs? This weeks teaser I will call the three little shavers.

The answer will require you to supply a moral for the story.

Pig one has just honed up his new vintage DD satinedge which he honed using a chunk of slate he found in his backyard and as he cuts his face for the 4th time he hears a knock at the door and sees its the monster honer. (his house is also made of straw) He tells the pig he spied on him and will blow down his house for being a bad honer wanting the easy way out and he does and then he eats him.

Pig two (the one in the house made of razor coffin boxes) has just honed his new TI with the crooked pin job and terrible factory honing and the monster tells the pig he will blow down his house because he's lame accepting a razor like that. So he blows down his house and eats him.

Pig three (the one in the house made of coticule material) has just expertly honed and restored his W&B wedge so well he made Glen cry like a baby. So he tells the pig I want in to inspect your honing and the pig says I don't believe you, you just want to eat me. But the monster honer can't blow the house down no matter how hard he tries. So an hour later the pig leaves his house on the way to his knife forging shop and is confronted by the monster honer. The pig says, "I've expertly honed my razor and live in a coticule house what do you want from me?" The monster says I want to eat you. But why says the pig and monster laughs and says well.. because I can and I will.

Just then as the big monster honer makes a grab for the pig he (the pig) drops to ground and wips out from his boot his 8/8s W&B super wedge and slices the monsters neck. The monster falls dead. However he left the razor embedded in the monsters throat and went off to work and a little ways down the path is confronted by the big bad wolf who eats him.

So the moral of the story is.....

Remember, think outside the box, be creative and stay tuned for the official answer on Wednesday.

Even super wedges that are sharp enough to make Glen cry make poor weapons, so you should always have at least one backup for when your go-to blade needs to be re-honed.

Sorry, but any person (pig?) that walks away from his 8/8 W&B behind after it helped save his life (or for no reason at all, for that matter) deserves to get eaten by the big, bad wolf.

Yea he left the razor behind and didn't have a 45 to take care of business. The pig needs killin---LOL!

Well after reviewing the answers I have to say you guys must be related to pig #2 because they were all pretty lame.

You have to think about this but here is how you do it:

The 3 pigs refers to pig iron or your razors

The Monster Honer eating the pigs is your hone eating up your razor

Pig 2 and his chunk of slate refers to the idea of the right tool for the job and not taking the easy way out

Pig 1 saying he doesn’t believe refers to not accepting everything everyone tells you

The pig with the crummy TI=don’t accept poor quality

Pig 1 is a knife maker but didn’t have the focus to remove his prized razor

The Monster couldn’t blow down the coticule house=you need the right tool for the job

The monster falling dead and the razor cutting his throat=the hone broke maybe due to improper use

The big bad wolf=this hobby eating up all your time and money if you allow it to.

So to sum it up the moral is be careful with your razors and learn to properly use a hone and know which to use for the job at hand and don’t look for the easy way out or the cheap way out and question all advice you get and remain focused when handling a straight and be careful when handling your hones and don’t spend too much time and money unless you know you can afford it and don’t accept poor quality when you buy something (unless want to end up like the pig).

Oh and Glen crying? Glen never cries.

Everything else is bogus to throw you off.

Now those who answered this with those lame answers will have to do two weeks of detention and those who didn’t, well thebigspendur is like Santa Claus, he knows what you are thinking.

See you all back next week for another thrill packed episode of the shaving brainbuster.

Swine probably had the flu anyway...
