Let's hope the men you glance at do find it weird though!. If they're not straight you might find they'll make eyes at you in return!

I live in Toronto, it's fairly common here. Usually a polite "sorry dude but I'm straight" works and if it doesn't, then an angry "buddy, you have 3 seconds to get outta my face before i kick your ass and call the cops on you for sexual harassment" does the trick.

When the missus wonders why SRP sends you so many e-mail notifications.

That's true. I was watching The Guns of August--a documentary made in the sixties about the First World War--and there was a stock-footage scene of a man standing in a trench in France, shaving with a straight razor. He had his hand over his head to pull his skin taut and a tiny little mirror to work with. I stopped the tape and rewound it, just to watch that two-second clip again.

That's why I like those Prohibition era mafia movies. Most of 'em have at least one clip with a mobster at the hairdresser's. And never to have his hair cut, always for a shave. I always check the angle of the razor to the skin. 9 out of ten have the razor perpendicular to the skin! Maybe Lynn could have a word one day with Hollywood producers to get that bit right!

Before you sit down and watch TV for the night you lay out the hones and razors that need attention.

I do that ALL the time!!!!

I've often simply given up on the TV part (nothing on worth watching anyway)...just go straight to the hones.

You guys have me pegged on way too many of these. Damn.

Sometimes, when I sit down to watch TV with my friend Lisa and do some honing, she switches the channel to one of her chick shows without me even noticing until I'm done with my razors. Honing seems to be a great cure for ADD lol.
