Thread: Straight Shaving Makes It All Better

So I have to give some setting first. Living in Canada the roads are still a little icy. Well this morning I hit a patch of it, spun sideways, and had the snow act as a ramp to propel the front end of my car onto a concrete barrier. After spending a couple of hour waiting for a tow truck I had it hauled to an auto shop and had to shell out money to fix it. I..was..P***ED.

Thank god I am a straight shaver. Whiel waiting at the auto shop I get a call from the man Robert Williams himself regarding an email I had sent him asking me if I wanted him to build me a razor. I don't think I need to tell anyone on here how much that brightened up my day. I could actually spend some money on something that would bring me joy. So my mood is about level. Well I get home and waiting for me is a pickup slip from the post office. My new Schwarweisskeramic skuttle has arrived.

Somehow my straight shaving hobby turned a terrible day into a happy day. Thank you shaving gods!!

Yep.......no cartridge blade could pull that off.Kudos for you.

I'm sorry, but if I wrecked my car I'd still be mad as hell.

mine might as well be wrecked. brought it in for a new inspection sticker and it looks like that might cost 1100 bucks. struts, brakes, sway bar stuff. doesn't it figure i made the last payment jan 3?

Fortunately the car isn't wrecked. New engine mount and new tierod. All in all I was pretty lucky. Funny enough I spent more money this month on shaving gear than my repairs cost.

Just thank god you are ok and the car is fixed, and by the way, you will love your RW razor!
