I too enjoy the process, even the truncated (by some guys on heres standards) process I use (hot water, only apply more lather as needed, single passes unless needed etc.) I enjoy taking something that is older than my great-grandfather and shaving with it. wondering how many faces in how many places its seen. Do I honestly tell a difference in smoothness between it and my 3 blade disposables of yesterday (and I hate to admit, every once in a while when I sleep a bit too long and run short on time)?? No, not really. not that I personally can tell at least. but I was explaining to my wife the other day, and she understood, that the 20 minutes or so I spend shaving is for me a reset, it is what some people achieve with meditation. for that time period my head is empty, other than the shave. Probably saves me money for a shrink.
As to being a bad ass. Bad ass is not something you can create, sure, you can approximate it, you can pretend. but in the end being a bad ass is just like being cool. You are or you aren't. Am I cool? kinda I guess. Am I a bad ass, yes. I'm bad ass whether I shave with a shard of glass or a woman's shavy thing. do I notice my bad assedness more when using the straight? sure, but is that the razor or because I have more time to carefully look at my handsome face in the mirror? I don't know.I do enjoy knowing that if I screw up I'll notice it.

PS
I too have been a member on other boards. many of them have an ignore feature. I can set people on there then when I read threads their posts don't show at all. How come this board doesn't have that feature?Last edited by Big Red; 02-18-2009 at 05:35 AM. Reason: grammar
