Thread: Unintended Consequence of Straight Razor Shaving

Not to diminish what Mark and Glen have said, but being no stranger to meditative action, although I appreciate the chance to focus myself, I'm just in in for the shaves myself.

Slime ball!

SWMBO has noticed a dramatic increase in my happiness factor since I've switched to straights. Perhaps the meditation thing is half the battle here.


As for the OP....here's a trick I found which has greatly increased my shave quality. Shave Oil.....there I said it, I use it, and I love it.

There is the satisfaction/accomplishtmenht part. It's something you have done. With an electric or any other method of shaving it's almost entirely a matter of buying the equipment. There there is the ritual, traditionional thing. And the whole mind relaxation thing. And then... you can't come close to sculpting a precision trimmed bieard with anything other than a straight.

and if you tack it even farther coustomise your razor make your shave soap mix your shav oil, make your shave brush ,make your strop. then when you finish your shave you can realy feel like you can do just about any thing.

I get a good feeling out of performing the ritual and feel better emotionally afterwards. I also have a shrinking bank balance and an expanding credit card debit but that is from the RAD and is optional I guess.

Now prior to last month, I thought you would have said "HAD" instead of RAD, Jimmy. Have you kicked HAD and/or replaced it with RAD? Say it isn't so! Oh, wait a minute, one less person to bid against me for stones!
