    Default Quotes about Straight Razors

    I'm putting together a blog post about straight razor shaving and I need a quote to plug in somewhere. Then it occured to me to search for quotes from movies. This is the only one I could come up with.

    Kurtz: [intercepted radio message] I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.
    Not exactly what I was hoping for in order to inspire someone to join the world of straight razors.
    Anyone else have a famous quote or a line from a movie to share?

    None from a movie but ... from the title page of W. Somerset Maugham's "The Razor's Edge" ..... "The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; thus the wise say the path to Salvation is hard."

    The late columnist Dorthy Parker on suicide in particular and razors in passing ;

    Razors pain you;
    Rivers are damp;
    Acids stain you;
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren’t lawful;
    Nooses give;
    Gas smells awful;
    You might as well live."

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks Jimmy. I decided to use one of my own quotes, admittedly not a great one. Let me know what you think about my blog post. I was trying to be brief and not overwhelm someone new to the straight edge.

    Nice write up, love the pic of Beethoven. I must admit though, if they develop light sabers to shave with in my lifetime, I'm liable to switch.
