    Ok... let me be the first to have a crack at it.
    I understand what you are saying, but somehow I just feel that you are missing the whole point of using a straight razor (a real one, I mean...). There's more to it that just shaving. That's my point of view. I enjoy stropping and prepping and all the things related. I understand that you think that the feather is the ultimate in shave closeness. Ok. Good for you. But you are missing out on a lot, my friend. But to each its own and as long as you are having fun and getting a good shave...

    Now, concerning the Bad Ass thing: why? Why does this keep coming up?! Just because it's a sharp blade it doesn't make you a hooligan! To me the straight razor represents the ultimate in deportment and gentlemanly behaviour. And a gentleman is not bad ass... I seem to stumble upon the bad ass argument too often. I just might be a bit old fashioned, then, if I find this to be a thing of gentlemen... maybe I'm wrong.
