Thread: A must read for any straightrazor user!

What a great story! A similar thing happened to me not one month ago. There i was, minding my own business when a Black bear stepped from the woods while I was shaving with my 4/8" SS Dovo and Taylor's of old bond Street sandalwood cream.

The big question was whether the bear was attracted to my sandalwood shave or the 6'x5' Elk hide, freshly scraped, drying on the hoop not 20 feet from my hooch.

Oddly enough, the bear just turned and left, with no comment. Obviously disdain for the 4/8" razor.

Reckon you should have had your trusty .50 hawken rifle loaded and capped to sort any of them Bars that would be so rude as to interupt a mans morning shave. Best we can manage down under is a pesky Roo !! cheers

Dammit! If only we didn't have this pesky random drug testing policy at the office I could participate!!!

C'mon Devil_Dog_Shaver...come back and play with us!

Until i see a pic of a face full of bear claw gashes (which are sure to be more than any one cheek can hold) with a bar of col. conk shave soap held next to it, im voting BS... lol but entertaining

Killer!!

Missing many explatives, but good to hear a Devildog story none-the-less. Leave it to a Marine to start out shaving his face in the nude and end up with a sucking chest wound.


Im a brand new member and have not even received my first razor in the mail yet... I expect to have some mishaps to begin with but you take the cake brother.

Keep your chin up and your head DOWN!

Hmmmm...could be. I think a bear would definitely use a wedge.......

I just bought over 600.00 worth of Dovo Razors, strops, silver tip badger hair brush, hones, mugs, soaps, stands, after shave cream and I'm redoing the lighting in my bathroom so I have the perfect lighting. I keep reading all these horror stories, I don't think I'm going to be able to do this! I'm more nervous about this than the first time I had sex!

Don't be nervous...this is so much easier! You get immediate notice when you're doing something right/wrong; as long as you have the right angle, it won't be painful; and when you're done, you're done!
