I know.... I just can't give up my beard that I've had for going on 40 years. I've been tempted to shave with my razors, but at the last minute have "chickened out". Maybe I can convince my son to start using a straight razor so he could evaluate the honing on my razors. Reading some of the posts on this forum is certainly affecting my position of not to shave... you guys seem to be having a lot of pleasure in straight razor shaving.

As said, there is always legs, yours or someone else’, or… do you have a dog?


Rock on.

No dog, but I could try to shave my cat. Now there is a challenge! I think my wife would throw me out if I started shaving my legs. I'm writing this through tears of laughter... you really made my day!

I was bearded for 45 years. Times changed. I shave all but a Van Dyke, and that might go by the wayside as my skills in shaving and honing improve. After all, you start life with a BBS face, what's to say you can't go out with one.

He was great in Mary Poppins!

I'm sporting his namesake as well.

The thought reminds me of the time my wife and I were looking at brushes at Crabtree and Evil-in, I think. The sales girl said “And no animals were injured in the making of these brushes”.

I asked her How do they do, that?

She said “They hold them down and shave them”. I laughed all the way out the door.

Those kind of girls think hamburgers grow on trees :<0)

Well, you could try shaving badgers and add knot tying to you hobbies...If you survive the shave.
