Ok so answer the question who said it and what did they say?

Oh and how long did you have to deny accusations and justify what you were doing?

If the bus is a rockin don't come a knockin!

Love it...

Hey you guys!
Got a pm from Jamie yesterday to say that he was honing my razor and discovered a slight warp in the spine. He says it's still usable though so I suppose it's not too bad.
In other news I picked up a brush and soap. To be honest they're not great, just wilkinson's sword products that I picked up with my groceries but they'll do for a start.
Had a shave with them on Friday afternoon and I still felt clean shaven on Saturday evening. I kept rubbing my face to check, which was weird because I was at the football and quite drunk!

That's one of the major beauties of a straight razor shave ...... the longevity.

That and you look like a badass doing it!

Play some old music while you shave and wear suspenders so they can hang undone...wearing riding boots too helps ,it's all macho n stuff.

Just had one of those transatlantic mistranslations. Here suspenders are what hold up ladies stockings. So the image I had, is anything but macho! Lol

Plenty of decent razors out there with that issue. That's why honing isn't for the person just trying to learn to shave. Creates too many problems to deal with all at once. It's rare to find a perfectly true razor. The majority of them have their little idiosyncrasies.
