I was reading fmylife.com today and found this humorous little snippet:
"Today, I was shaving off my beard for the first time in a very long time. I decided to have a little fun with it, and shaved my beard first into a goatee, then a handle-bar, then, finally, into a Hitler mustache. My electric razor dies. I don't have a normal one or an extra battery. FML."
Bet he wishes he had a straight! :rofl2:
That is funny indeed. :D
It makes me wonder how dependent we are on electrical devices, right? Well, our "shaving devices" don't need batteries :cool:
Indeed! Good thing we don't need bateris to shave with our artifacts! Otherwise I suppose a lot of us would have very stupid facial accesories like Hitler moustaches... come on! Anyone who shaved off a moustache knows he did a Hitler impersonation in front of the mirror! Except if you're german, of course. :fim: :o
I Stumbled onto that site a few weeks ago. Some hilarious things but most just seem made up to me.
But to stay on topic, it is nice knowing that the only thing I really have to buy is soap/cream. Now as for the things I choose to buy, that's a whole different story. :D

it's a well known phenomenon. i always remove my beard in stages when it's long enough to have fun doing so.
from the author's blog the day he did this comic: (emphasis mine)
"I got a haircut today. I hadn't shaven in a while because my hair was getting so long that, if I shaved, my head would be shaped all wrong. Once I got my haircut, the contrast in lengths rendered what had been stubble into full-on BEARD.
Of course, beards are for Minnesota winters, which is something I don't need to put up with down here in Tejas. When I shaved it, I shaved it into a ton of other different weird facial hair patters as I went. Absolutely every man alive does this. And absolutely every man alive contemplates just sticking with one of them. Me, I think the handlebar looks pretty kickin, but I'm already one of the only white people I know around here, so I feel it's my duty not to play up the white trash stereotype any more than absolutely necessary, and I already have tattoos and a car with lots of trash in it, so the moustache was just dead weight."
It's a Chaplin. Adolf Hitler ruined Charlie Chaplin's mustache! :rant:
Agreed! It's nice knowing that I have all the equipment to shave for the rest of my life.Quote:

I only used an electric for about 3 months in my early twenties, it always gave me ingrown hairs and bumps... no thanks!
Plus after 3 month the blades went dull and all I was doing was rubbing it all over my face with no effect and I dumped that ****ty Norelco.
I love that I finally took the plunge into SRS moving from even the DE, but still learning an old art is amazing to me.
I'm a fan of guys like Dick Proneke, etc... doing things old skool, and testing yourself against nature, hence maybe why I surfed in every hurricane I could so far, Andrew included ( double over head right before the storm made landfall next day in Melbourne Fl)
cheers
