Thread: Might be blasphemy but......

Cangooner

I can understand all of what you are saying but the plastic thingy that I used cost 1 dollar. It came with a total of 6 heads, 1 mounted and 5 spares. That should do me for a month so $12.00 for the year is not too expensive. Those plastic thingys need not be expensive to do a good job. I don't see cost or end result as being a factor, for me at least. If you insist on using the expensive plastic thingys then yes certainly cost could well be a factor. Not being argumentative here just saying.

I thought that the first woman in my life was the greatest, until other women came along and educated me otherwise.

I believe that straights are the true instruments of shave. I feel cheated that it took me 50 years to find them. I just don't know who to blame other than myself. I guess that I can put some blame on myself, my father and a society that has focused on the expedient and disposable path through life. i definitely got caught up in it.

I don't think that its blasphemy, I just think that you slipped a little. Go out & buy your straight a new shave cream. She will get over it.

Stay true my friend.

Oh I hear you! It was my fault entirely for buying into the marketing hype.

I think I also have an instinctive reaction against most anything labelled disposable.

When you get good with the straight you will understand why use it instead of cartridge or disposable.

Yea, that is quite possible and I hinted at that in my op by not using the term mastered the straight. I have a feeling that even though the shave felt good today with the disposable it may not be as close as a straight. I'll know later today and see how the face feels then.

Just in case anyone is wondering, no I am not giving up on straights. I'll be back to them when the trip is over. I know why I use a straight and intend to continue to do so. This mornings shave was just a bit of a reality check and food for some contemplation on my part. I have tried never to be an adherent to the one true path line of thinking on anything is all.
