Thread: What are your friends/familys reaction to you shaving w/straight rzrs

Sorry for the long title for this post. It's kind of funny how shocked people are when you tell them you intend to actually use the razors in your collection. Most have been positive in my case. The usual comments are "wow! that's awesome!" or "I didn't know you could still get them". On occasion I hear something like "that's stupid!", but that comment came from a man I later found out to be a trailer trash racist drunk (I'm not joking). I understand the shock from younger people, but some of the people I interact with are older men & women in their 50's & 60's, from flea markets and antique stores I frequent. I didn't see my first real straight razor until my 20's, and can't understand how someone who grew up watching "dad" use a straight razor never used one themselves. But anyway, that's enough of my rambling. What do the people in your lives think about your razor addiction?
