Thread: I hate my @#$%^* beard!!!!

My beard is the steel-eating monster from the blackest nightmare depths of hell. It eats razors for breakfast. It will eat one of my edges in 5 shaves. It will eat one of Glen's edges in 8 shaves. I cannot use the Chinese 12K by itself to do touch-ups: it's not aggressive enough to grind past the damage. The hair on my head eats a razor in 3 shaves. I AM GOING TO CALL MY FATHER AND BITCH HIM OUT! No, wait...Do you get your hair from your father's side or your mother's? FINE, THEN I'LL BITCH HER OUT TOO!

Whew. I needed that. I feel much better now.

Johnny I think it is high time you look for a heavy wedge style blade and see if that can't tame the brillo pad you call a beard

I agree with Glen Johnny. Maybe even whack a set of scales on an axe head!! Seriously, Glen's advice is sound, IMO.

James.

I'm in the same boat. 4 to 5 shaves and its back on the hone. I don't think its that much of a big deal. Life is too short and I own too many razors to have a bad shave.

Last week I was too lazy and shaved with a blade I shouldn't have.Now I remember why I hate dull razors

Do you think a chainsaw would look good in cocobolo?

HA! Yes, life is too short for cheap wine, ugly women, & dull razors

You can't even touch it up on some chromium oxide? I usually need to touch mine up after 5 shaves or so, but 20 trips on the paste does the trick for a few months before it needs a real honing.
