Would 20 hail maries be good enough?

This morning I was in a bit of a hurry and shaved with my shavette the shave was ok but I guess that with my DE (a merkur simple thingy) my shave would have been better and faster.. I was about to order new blades today for my DE and though.. what the heck.. Iĺl just buy a Futur as well...

So now I've got a Futur on the way for the "hurry in the morning shaves"..

Would 20 hail maries be enough? I'm sure my GF will kill me as soon as she finds out so I want my sins absolved by that time...:D

I'm not the authority, but I think 20 should do it:D

All I can say is." Let he who is without sin among you cast the first stone". :shrug:

EDIT; And let the first stone be a kosher cotucule ;-)

I don't think so. You may have to sacrifice something to the str8 gods. I know them personally and they do not like this. In fact I think they are yelling something in the background now about sin and absolution and penance. Sounds like flagellation, no must be something else.:D

I am perfectly sure that your GF will have a "suitable" punishment for you when it arrives.

I hope the punishement will have nothing to do with the 50 feather blades I ordered with the Merkur.. 50 feather blades have 100 frightning sharp edges...

I just donated half a liter of blood yesterday.. do you guys think I should try to get it back? She is pregnant so her moods are pretty unpredictable at the moment..:D (good thing is that she might just as well forget the whole incident within 2 seconds)

Listen, if you start hailing Mary today you'll be stoning Margret tomorrow. Just breath deeply and jump in. :D

Note the duration of that video...

At least you got the right DE for your transgression. Heck, you just might decide the Futur treats you soo nice you let your straights "rest" for a bit. I'm thinking of breaking out a SE for the weekend, just so I can remember what BBS feels like!

I posted here yesterday but, sadly my post didn't get published.
(the fact that I am automatically subscribed to the thread, proofs that I did submit my post) If any of the supervising mods can regain it, please replace this one with my original post. It was a bible quote, so it may been accidentally read as spam.

[edit: ah, there it is :). (2 posts ago) whomever fished it out the trash bin, thank you and please excuse me for the hassle]

You are right Bart.. its possible to shave faster with a straight...but sometimes I'm just a lazy bum;)

Maarten

No - it's not enough. you need to add 10 "our father"s and a few "glory be"s

About a week ago I used my DE and was surprised how many more strokes it took to shave my whole face. It felt like it took forever!! So if you have the technique down, it's completely possible to shave faster with a straight. But +1 on the lazy bum, I have that problem too sometimes...:rolleyes:

I thought hail maries would be a chalange as I'm not Catholic...
but now I´m hearing about Noveenas and Glorie Be's...

Maybe I'll just confess... and sleep in the garage for a couple of nights.... :hmmm:

The gods of the straight razor may be angry but the DE gods be smilen. I have a Futur and LOVE it. Playing with the straights but the Futur is my go to razor for the BBS shaves. For me its the gold standard of comfort and closeness, its what I measure the straights to, there coming close but not there yet.

:tu

They'll probably want an Act of Contrition, too. If your girl goes ballistic over it, then throw in a prayer to St. Rita, the patroness of impossible causes. Or maybe St. Jude.

May God have mercy on your soul.;)

Well she didnt find out I had a new razor.... yet..

The last week I only shaved with the Futur (3 times) just because I was pretty busy and a DE is pretty easy if your in a hurry.. She did see me shave with it but she didnt notice I was shaving with a new razor.

So I think all my prayers where heard by the gods and my sins where absolved.
The shaves where pretty good BTW..

Maarten

I'm still living life in sin....

Since the baby was born in May I've only shaved with a straight twice..Just cant find the time to hone the razors..

At least I do enjoy the shaves with the DE(the futur works pretty good for me) and the shaves I use the straight are pretty good.

Maybe in a couple of weeks I will be back to the straight.

Maarten

There is no sin in spending large amounts of money on razors and shaving stuff. Especially if you don't get caught. To that end I would recomend a seperate account into which you can syphon money. When your wife eventually finds out about your secret account just tell her it is so that I can supprise you with presents.

I would be happy to take care of that for a busy daddy.
You know the address. :) Don't be a stranger.

Sincerely,

Gentlemen,

The Rasiermesser Rasur video Bart posted scares me to death. I have seen it before. I eventually stopped, because my gentle heart could not stand the attack from that frightening video.

Oy, just the thought of attacking my Hollywood face as that man does his raises the hair on the back of my neck.

Oh, by the way, I use a double edge when time is short — a gorgeous Edwin Jagger "barley" or a mock Ivory. To me, rushing my straight razor shave is a lot like rushing my meal or gulping down my good wine. In my San Francisco days a thousand years ago, I didn't even rush the nectar contained within the $1.50 jug of Red Mountain either. Some things are sacred. That includes a proper gentleman's shave with a lovely straight edge razor.

Regards,

Obie

hmm... Not sure what video you are referring to, but most likely one of another Bart. My German is pretty marginal.
Yet I'm anxious to see the video you're referring to. Care to share a link?

Best regards,
Bart.

Bart,

Good heavens, I must have my Barts confused. Let me see, the scary video is located in the #7 Permalink post, if that means anything. Bart from Belgium?

I just checked it again. Unless I've had one too many glasses of wine and am seeing things.

Regards,

Obie

Oh, now I see. I indeed posted that youtube link in this thread, several months ago. I didn't remember that. The guy in the video is from Switserland. His name is Willi Heuser. He's a member of SRP, but he only posted a few times, shortly after he shared that awesome video on Youtube.

Sorry for the confusion,

Bart.

Avast ye scurvy unshaven dogs! In the pirate world each of those 20 Hail Mary's would have come after a flick of the "tail" across yer bare back side. There by giving penance to the ship of shave, and to yer Gods mother.

Luckily we do not live in that world and I happen to have the "decendants of pirates" power to change the code. Remember we learned they were "more like guidelines" anyway. So yer backside is safe, at least from a group of angry piratical shavers. Whether or not your back, and the rest of you for that matter, is safe from your GF....is another story.
