Shaved with a Ka-Bar Hilarity ensued
Hello gent's!
I am very excited about starting to shave with a straight razor (properly). I have been researching this online for a while because I couldn't even find a barber in my area that used one after my usual barber retired. I played with the Idea for years never willing to spend the upfront capital for a grooming tool I may not enjoy, that is until today. Now I preface the story of my day with a warning, do not try this at home as I probably shouldn't have in the first place. I was contemplating the scene in several movies where you see the action hero shaving with a Bowie knife. I have a Ka-Bar. What could go wrong?? well as it happened, nothing. the research I had done for shaving with a straight razor paid off and I only ended up with one nick and it was so minor it went away after a pinch. The unexpected side-effect was that I had an extremely close shave never achieved with any disposable not to mention the blasphemy of an electric razor. So now I am completely focused on purchasing the right tools and I am exited to join a community that shares my passion for a smooth face!
