Some people take the easy way out. They live boring lives going with the flow rarely taking the time to take any risk, smell the roses, or accomplishing anything beyond he ordinary and expected.
Others have a little poetry to their soul. They live for all its worth. They invent light bulbs, they conquer nations, they sculpt masterpieces. They shave with straight razors.

But those are the similarities. There are also the perceived differences. Some listen to Brahms others listen to Tupac. Some learn Karate others learn Tai-Chi. Some drive a BMW others can barely afford a car. Even with antagonistic opposites they might all shave with straight razors.

What's that old say about it not being getting to the destination but the trip itself.

Can't agree more. It is the trip. I'm heading home now from Maxi's. He just re-honed my blade. Looking forward to getting back on the straight shaving road again. Going to shave as soon as I get home. Thanks for your replies everyone. I love this community. Originally Posted by thebigspendur

Mentally imbalanced ? Kippo, I think you and I are the only two sane people on SRP ..... and sometimes I'm not sure about you !
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I was always told that the man who claims he's sane is usually the furthest from it. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

Two thoughts
1) We live in a disposable society. When we use an item to reach our intended goal, we toss it and move on.
2) Just because technology has made certain tasks of our everyday life easier doesn't mean they have made them better.
I choose to shave with a straight razor because even though it's not as easy or fast as a disposable, I believe it is better. I shave with a number of razors, some from the turn of the century, and I hope someday someone will be shaving with my razors.
