Thread: Straight Razor Shaving Reality

Anyone noticed the OP hasn't acknowledged all the members falling over themselves to help? I suggest he stick with his fusion neutrogenia and two minute shave. He can throw another 10 Cs at this. It will be a waste of $.

Look through his posts. He goes from knowing nothing to being an expert, back to knowing nothing. Asking for advice on the basics, then giving advice out to others. One of his threads was already shut down. He's the essence of the word troll, and will likely not be in this community for long...

You guys did notice that he was banned a couple of days ago, didn't you?

Edit to change my post!
I just read the post above mine so no need to waste my time with encouraging words...

But he doesn't want too!

I don't think he really wants to shave with anything other than an expensive cartridge that will cost him more over time with one good SR.

But he still wants to have a couple of shiny straights to display in his bathroom

"16 minutes shaving?!"

I'm a true newbie, but I haven't gotten a good, thorough straight razor shave down to less than forty-five minutes. I see this as time well spent.

These days, I could breeze through a DE shave (and still derive no small amount of pleasure from it still), but I've found the time spent stropping, lathering, stretching and learning strokes far too enjoyable to pass up now I've started. The sheer subtlety of the practice of shaving with a straight razor is something I've found myself eagerly anticipating as the days go by and I gladly reserve time now in my schedule to get in touch with my razors, prepare them and my face and work towards a better shave. It's a treat.

If you're looking for the most efficient method of shaving, I don't think this is it. I know I'm not going back, however.

EDIT:
Oh, right, I see. He's gone...
