Thread: What sort of people are we?

I am curious, what sort of people are we that use straight razors? I know from a previous poll that we are not the sorts of people that reject modern technology, but we are seeking that ultimate shave that the straight razor offers. We typically do not dress retro, however we generally like fountain pens. What are our common characteristics?

I dress in nothing but spandex and write Tartan Noir on a typewriter while doing p90x.

Unlike young Ben, I prefer to write Rissole Noir in blood with a quill. Other than that, I question everything.

I have opposable thumbs. Not many, just a few.

I keep them in a jar under my bed, in case of emergencies.

What kind of people are WE? I shave with a straight, you shave with a straight, that doesn't make us bed mates.

I have 3 eyes and horns...oh, and I make things up out of my hatred of being told what to do. Just ask Jim.

We are the all singing all dancing crap of the world.

Indeed, so it was written. But I only counted two eyes...unless you have opened your third one since last we spoke? In which case, things might have changed...

I'm posting this from an original Teletype.

Well, I do use a fountain pen, a wind up watch, shoot a longbow (and build them too), and used to fence (Epee')...
