    Default 'Tis The Season

    Gentlemen,

    'Tis the season for articles on the world of straight razor shaving. I understand Playboy has published a piece in which our own SRP member Bluepriciple (Steve Dempster of the Invisible Edge) is quoted. I have not read the article yet, but I am sure it will be topnotch. Also, Steve is a fine gentleman and the man behind Thiers-Issard's Spartacus in England.

    My own article on the world of straight razor shaving just came out in a Milwaukee-based alternative newspaper called Shepherd Express. The publication has national ties with other alternative newspapers; therefore, we might get some national play, too. Also, I managed to mention SRP.

    The article, titled "Straight Razors: Bringing Joy to Shaving," is geared toward the general public. I had an 800-word (little over three typewritten pages) limit, and thanks to Lynn Abrams, I found myself with plenty of material. Read and enjoy.

    I am hoping this link will work. Otherwise, I'll get in touch with the newspaper and see if they can provide the link.

    Straight Razors: Bringing Joy to Shaving

    Regards,

    Obie

    Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Obie, if you ain't a pro writer you ought to be. A very well written piece that covers why many of us are devoted to the art of shaving with a straight razor and will undoubtedly bring some new blood, if you'll pardon the expression, to SRP.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Very well written Obie!
