Thread: Does a straight razor make a man appear more debonair or classy?

No I don't think it is even that. I believe it is how you treat other people that determines if you have class or not. Looks mean nothing but actions do.

Yeah, I agree.
To paraphrase an old soft-drink commercial:
Image is nothing, behavior is everything

This thread's getting kinda deep.
All my ways of looking at life are being questioned in a very effective and true manor

Mind=blown

although, what i sayd does kinda count
If you behave in sayd way only to look good, then are you truly classy? or is it an act
where as if you behave with a kind and chivalrous heart, not because you want to look good, but because thats how a man should be..
I guess the difference is, if its an act or not

Forget appearances altogether. I have know people who outwardly have no appearance to being classy but are. OTH I have met more people with all the outward appearance of class that were ripe expletive deleted. It is only about the actions nothing else.

Your question has been answered by the men, I think the lack of female imput may be telling also.

Forgive me for saying, but please take some time to review the reasoning behind your expectations before putting a blade to your face. I am old and wise and should know this is none of my business.

But! On topic, a young girl recently remarked on my favorite pipe, a delicate, polished Brakner Antique. "Mister," she said, "That is thee classiest pipe I have ever seen." She correctly identified the pipe was classy, not that I was classy because I was smoking it. Big difference.

NC state motto also addresses this: ESSE QUAM VIDERI

I have put a bit more thought into this,
If you are all about image then you are a dandy,
If you are gentlemanly with an intelligent wit, then that would make you classy,
I think debonair is "classy" with understated style.

Point well taken Mr. Moo
Im not doing this because of image, heck.. nobody even knows im going to be doing it
Its just something i always wondered about

Edhewitt,
I think the ladys silence speaks loudest of all


I just want to clarify, Im not going to be doing it for the public appeal. the only people that will ever know, will be my immediate family in the same home as me.
I was just curious, and you know what they say about curiosity....

You need a cool walk. Have to have one that distinguishes you from the rest. Cool.
