Thread: Are you an SRP Oddball?

So I know that many of us are considered odd outside of SRP by those that don't get why in the world we would put a sharp open blade to our neck everyday.

But how many of you have been reading through SRP and been like I really must be odd cause I do things completely or very different then most people on here.

For me it is the way I sharpen my razors and maintain them. I use paste for just about every aspect of honing and prefer my edges off paste over hones.

So what makes you an SRP oddball?

Who are you calling odd???

I suppose if I had to choose something it's that I currently use only one strop. Makes me pretty odd around these parts

I'm completely normal...it's everyone else thats odd! And I'm stickin to it

I just found a chest hair that's over 5" long. I suspect that's odd. But I KNOW it would be odd to go around comparing... so guess I'm still OK to be out in public.

Neighbors and passing motorists probably think it's weird that I keep my yard trimmed with a scythe. "Look, honey, it's Death in cutoffs and a ball cap!"

When I am not playing with straight razors, I play with big knives and compete with them...weird enough?

Four years in the Marine Corps, one year with the Post Office, I have my own VA shrink and I still love routinely putting a piece of sharp steel to my neck ......... any other questions?

Besides being part of a pirate re-enactment crew?

I have at least a dozen varieties of soaps and I haven't used anything other than Williams in around a year.

I prefer it to the others.

My GF thinks it's pretty odd that I have some very sketchy arm hair on my left arm from hone testing, but that might be normal here. I also make my own soap by rebatching Dove and Ivory + other stuff, that might not be odd here either.

I want to be a pirate and have a cannon on my boat.
