Thread: Silver's Leg Massacre, Umm I Mean Shave

Great gams ya got there Silverado!

Is that a Magno-Electric blade?

I predict a well defined end to this sort of problem commencing shortly after your receipt of Teddy. Once you begin using that silver and turquoiuse studded ebony brush with silver tipped badger bristles to whip up a larther our of the Georgetown Pottery scuttle, the only blood on those curvaceous calves will be there by design.

Bradzilla! You rock! Silver has scuttled off blushing & squealing at your compliment. I know she's got great legs. She requires constant reinforcement. It is wonderful to have some back up signore. Of course Teddy & his gorgeous brush will be a huge help in the quest for smoothness of the lovelies.

Guys & girls, thankyou all for your tips & encouragement. Pearl, after your advice, I will take up lathering duties, so that Silver can concentrate on her shave. Oh & I will pm Buckler

Hats off to the ladies!

It's great to see more people using straight razors, especially women.

As for the cuts, at least you can cover up your legs! Sometimes I have to roll into work with something like that on my mug :eek

(C utz, in the lab, working....the boss walks up to ask me a question, I'm thinking, "Please don't ask about the dueling scar, Please don't ask about the dueling scar, Please don't ask about the dueling scar")

Great work Silver!

Have you tried a styptic alun pencil for your cuts? Hurts a bit but it stops the bleeding really fast!

I noticed from the pics, that rarely is more than an inch or two of skin in contact with the blade. Would a shorter razor be easier to handle and keep track of? I have a beard and find that full size razors are constantly getting in trouble at the end I am not concentrating on. Smaller than normal razors are much easier to keep track of, and at least for me, end up shaving much faster. Pull up Mab razor, here or on Google. That is just one, but probably the most common. Other blades can be shortened by a good bladesmith. I have never read anywhere that nicks and cuts are a requirement of straight shaving. Learning the razor is extremely important and nothing can replace experience there. But experience can be gained in small pieces. I understand that most ladies shave their legs every three or more days. Concentration is very important, so why not shorten the chore to 1 leg on consecutive days. I highly recommend against a square or spike point blade for a beginner, as the slightest tilt toward the point will cause a nick, or cut. It is great to see some ladies trying the straights, but they have 10 times as much to shave, so it is going to take some time, even with plenty of experience. Thanks for the posts, has been very interesting.
