Thread: Will I Be Banned From SRP???

Well out of the blue I did something this morning
that I had not planned too do. In fact it was a last
minute decision. While lathering up with Trumper's
Rose soap I had ever intention of using my 7/8 W&B
spike this morning. But for some reason I opened
up my medicine cabinet and took out my Merkur
classic DE. I put in a Merkur blade and started to shave.

I don't know what came over me. Since switching to
a straight in Janurary of last year I have only strayed
3 times. On these occasions I was on a road trip
and the last one of these was July of last year.

There is really no way that anyone could call this
premeditated and as such I throw myself on the
mercy of the forum and I'm confident that a fair
judgement will be rendered.

I promise too be more careful in the future.

Meh, I still use my Tech on occasion. I'd have used it today but I made some plans so I want to use a sure thing -- TEW, Genco, Filly, W&B, Workman or The Winner.

Last time I tried a DE razor out of the blue, I was so underwhelmed by the poor shave I put it up for sale on B&B about an hour later.

I'm not sure if I was just out of practice with a DE, or if straight razor shaves are just that much better.

I haven't been fully faithful to the straight either. I didn't discover DE's until about the time I started working on the shaving stuff for the troops project. I figured I needed to be where I could give guidance if they wanted it. I dare say I'm enjoying shaves with a DE... having a blast actually. The DE is small enough I can get the right angle of attack on my problem areas. But, it's too bulky to get stuff like my chin effectively. If I use both, it's 100% BBS.

hmm, I don't want to repeat myself with this banning thing...

Once you go straight, there is NEVER turning back......... consequences are severe.

Can anyone really say that shaving commando with a DE is the same.

Now..c'mon can anyone?

No, it ain't the same. Commando shaving with a straight requires a little extra concentration. This is partly why my DE sees more action than the straight lately.

No Rich, I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't. But the DE is
going back into hibernation where it belongs. For tomorrows
shave my 5/8 Case bn is lying in wait.

The DE for this point will be used for travel only, which
in my case is infrequent.
