Yes, shenanigans is the black bear lapping up my cherished Col. Conk's Amber lather, and leaving me with the most horendous shave ever (eight inch claw marks across my unshaven mug). He was obviously envious of my 1890 Sheffield razor's sharpness. I showed him though, no, not by weeping in the fetal position, but by pushing on with my dedication to the art and ritual of straight razor shaving.

Never let anyone tell you what you do is silly or time consuming. Time consuming is waiting for these skin grafts to take so I can get back to shaving!

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.

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