Thread: Skydiving after a straight shave...

Hi all,

Back after a loooong hiatus..... finally got rid of the 'shakey hand syndrome' (changed meds), and have brought some of my better straights back online as shavers again!

I have also begun to skydive (only have 10 freefall jumps in so far, but am addicted!) .... and just today thought what a rush it would be to jump immediately after a nice close straight shave! The sensation would be awesome, I think! I will find out on the 15th .... taking a few friends up for a few jumps that weekend. I plan to take my original SRP Razor (#30) to the DZ, shaving there just before gearing-up and getting on the jump plane. The freshly shaved, and exquisitely sensitive facial skin should feel awesome in freefall, I think! I will moisturize the heck out of it before jumping .... 120+mph wind in freefall could REALLY dry it out! LOL!

I will let you know how it goes .... either way, it is GREAT to be back and able to use a REAL razor again!

when you land at least you will be clean shaved.

Maybe the best cooling aftershave ever.

You are really good when you can shave during the jump!

Well, I'm disappointed. I thought this post would be about some crazy stunt like shaving with a straight while plummeting through the air and slapping on some aftershave as you hit the ground.

****>> Ummm...NO, now THAT would be crazy! But I will shave tomorrow just before I get on the jump plane. Approximately 12 minutes later I will be flying through the air at around 120 MPH. THAT will feel awesome, I think, right AFTER a good shave! LOL!

****> Hmmm...that would be possible to stage, but I don't think I want to complicate the skydive just yet. And if I ever dropped the butter knife, and it dropped onto someone, something at that speed, well...ouch. Besides, I have enough things to be doing in freefall at the moment!

PS: Three of my razors are now up and running after a long layoff! The TI's are especially sweet shavers!

Chaaaz,

Any pictures of the event? How did it go?

Hi Chaaaz, welcome back.

Whats it been two or three years?

Ya know, 550 cord is great for stropping. Ahhhh just kidding!
