At that point I just explain the katana is too long so the straight is much safer to shave with :p

You know, the other night I was gonna ask about the F-1 pictured in your avatar. I'm also a big fan of old Ford trucks. Never owned anything as sweet as your rig. My oldest was a 61 F250, what a beast, you could drag a house behind that thing! One day I'll get back into the old truck crowd. Ideally with one of these:

But I think in a pinch one of these would do.

this thread had me laughing, but hey i digress. as far as what people think, hell i live in west by god virginia, im not doing anything odd, those new fangled razors havent hit the shelves here yet, what do you mean 5 blades, i didnt even know they made such a thing, most of the men around here havent touched a razor in many a year, and those of you who live close to me, you know what im talking about, cause some of your friends are just the same way, and i can start to name names if you dont agree with me on that, lolololol
i'm not really worried about people thinking in weird or anything.. most people know i am.. and it has nothing to do with my grooming habits..
what does embarrass me is when i'm at a social event.. chatting with someone i just met and my girl walks up and says something like "are you talking about shaving again?"
now that makes me feel awkward..
I get pretty much all the same reactions and experiences as all you guys do.Most people know me as being an old school thinker anyway so no problem.Some think I'm a little strange because I'm always talking about what I discussed on" THE FORUM "as I call it.....come to think of it.......a funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum ! Uh......anyway...........I like how some people especially the ladies react when I'm smokin my pipe with my big ol' Sam Elliot moustache and talkin about shaving with a straight wilst listening to either Cajun Zydeco or jazz/blues.And I especially like the reactions from the ladies boyfriends whose cute little puffy chested attitudes instantly deflate followed by a little boy embarrassed look cause they are all jealous and feel all unmanly in front of their girl............YES !!!!! :D:D Yeah,dats right y'all...I gets ta wear bigman pants cause I shaves wit da straight blade weeeehawww !!:rofl2:
dern.. now i need a same elliot moustasche.. i'm like the sleeper.. no one would guess i shave with a straight cause my bbs makes it look like i don't even grow facial hair.
Duude.....do it.Grow the stash !! It's a nice little challenge to add when yer straight shaving cause it gives you something to sculpt. And a nicely raised stash just looks way cool and makes ya feel all manly n stuff !! Next to Sam,s stash my other favorite stash hero is Morgan Earp.Check out some of his old photos on the web.The man knew how to wear a soup strainer for sure.Careful though as they do get addicting.Next thing ya know yer buyin Stash Wax and combs and well.....ya know !:D
Just let it flourish.It'll probably even out in color once you get it wally enough.C'mon man....ya know ya wanna ! Girly might like it ya know heh.;)sorry but we're gettin off topic here.Back to our regularly scheduled program.Fooo on cartridge shaving and it's prejudice against us wetshavers I say. The Blade is Family ! I saw that in a movie once ha !:D
