Thanked: 270Ah, my heritage. My dad was born in Throckmorton. My mom was born in Mingus, and they met, went to school, and married in Breckenridge. However they were in Los Angeles when I was born. When I was a teenager we moved to Louisiana and it was a culture shock for me when they got their Southern accents back and I never developed one. I have been in Louisiana 43 years.
My dad was a confirmed electric razor shaver and that's where my trouble began. I couldn't accept the lousy results so I went to the multiblade razors and canned goo that was just being introduced at the time. By the time I was in my 50s my face was a facial wreck and I had to check into SRP for retro shaving therapy. I have to wonder what dad would think of me now if he saw me using a straight razor. Mom might have fainted when, one month into straight shaving, I sliced my thumb to the tendon switching hands and had four stitches. But I've been using a straight for five years and my face feels so much better than it ever was using the typical department and drug store fare.
