I believe it's written in the video's description. "Best of Me" my Colin Lake.

Oh, and I'm glad you liked it! :)

fatpanda,

I'd be happy to shoot a stropping video. I don't know that I'll be able to tell anyone anything they don't already know, but at least you'll get my personal take on how it is I strop. ...

I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the compliment! :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I especially like hearing how new shavers are using it as a guide for their own shaves. Since I uploaded it, a lot of people are messaging me on YouTube and...

Thanks, I'm glad it helped! :)

I know what you mean about the sideburn thing. One bad stroke with the razor and you can quickly make them crooked. In the video I had to make a quick decision on...

Thanks! :D

Cool. You'll be a professional in no time.

On what you mentioned -- you always see videos of people stropping like madmen, whipping the razor up and down the leather like they're trying to beat...

What kind of razor do you own? Was it honed for you, or do you hone it yourself?

I have since resumed shaving regularly. :)

Oh, one or two days.




Just kidding.

A couple of weeks, I think.

I haven't shaved since that video was made, incidentally.

Ha ha. I hope it was interpreted as a "don't try this at home" wink. ;)

(The drinking and shaving, that is.)

Heh heh. Yeah, maybe there's a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten.



jinenjo: The aftershave was Southern Comfort. :)

Dusty79: Thanks a lot. I deliberated for a while over what songs...

Heh. "This time"? I can't remember when I last nicked myself.

That would've been pretty cool.

I've seen things change since I was little, too. I remember seeing rifles and shotguns in the backs of pickups now and then, but that wouldn't have been as...

Thanks for that post.

It's true, you know. A lot of people these days are very sheltered and afraid to do much of anything. Like drinking and shaving. Or drinking and driving. Or drunk...

Thanks, sidneykidney. And thank you to everyone else for the kind words. :)

When splashing the water on my face at the very end, I felt next to no stubble. I was really pleased with how the...

Hey, thanks! :D

I know a lot of your threads attract some criticism from the other members, but just for that, you've assured that I'll never be one of them. :) Zorro - wow. Glad you liked the...

Yeah, the audio on that thing is the pits, definitely. It would have picked up some decent commentary since the camera was quite close, but talking would have slowed things down quite a bit; and...

Yup! Along with some Jim Croce and a bit of a Neil Young interlude in the middle. :)

Ha ha. No worries. I actually attempted to keep the grips more or less "standard" for the southbound strokes, but when it came to the neck stuff, like the stroke that's needed to go just behind the...

A gentleman and a scholar!

You clearly noticed that my tongue never left the shelter my cheek provides during the video. :) It was more or less directed at my mom, who bought me this razor...

Yeah, I know, eh? Pretty retarded, if you ask me!

This guy must have a sharp razor. That thing just melts through the hair!
