Thread: May have to give up on straight razors altogether..

New shaving fad?

And here I thought straight razors was the ultimate manly shaving method.
Little did I know. I'll see if I can order me a white one, no need for custom scales.

When I first started looking at this, I thought he was going to have a straight attached to the end of the rotor. Now THAT would have been impressive!

I agree totally. That was what I expected and that was what would make me say "WOW!".

Of course, still, it is amazing that the pilot was able to do what he did, even if it was with a cartridge razor.

haha i don't think there would be anything left of that guys face if he had a straight attached.
this is a step down from the video above, but still pretty cool:

Funny, but that video scared me more than the helicopter shave one. I looked up that shave cream he advertised: "buy paraben free shaving cream" - oh, that's nice. "contains Decelerine™ - reducing beard growth" - YIKES!
That cream must be made for people that do not enjy shaving, clearly not for wetshavers. On the other hand, it sounds like may be used for baldness. Not as a cure though, mind you

Of course to be really manly one should burn one's beard off with charcoal.

my thoughts exactly. i look forward to shaving, i wouldn't want anything making me shave less often!

The ultimate feat would be to hone a blade, strop it 100 passes on leather and shave with it all by helicopter. Putting the Styptic on the right spots might be tough though.
