Oh, I've got pet peeves...
People using "str8" (Or, heaven forfend, ST8!!!) instead of taking the time to type the word. I mean, we take the time to strop and shave every morning, the extra 1/8 second to type "straight" won't hurt anything.
The patches on my neck and beside my chin that JUST. WON'T. GET. SMOOTH.
My main pet peeves are:
The spot on my jaw right behind where it curves. Invariably I miss a few hairs there. Last time I shaved, I put a nice slice back there trying to get them all.
People that don't understand what the hell they're talking about (really in any subject) and begin pontificating on a mode of shaving that they themselves have never tried.
"You going to kill anyone with that later?" 'Nuff said.
I've got peeves as well:
Guys who post up pics of recent scores that happen to include a razor that I've been looking for for ages.
Like this guy:

The nerve!
See? SEE?
See how this guy is rubbing it in my face!
He knows I like stainless. I have a Tuckmar, a Dovo, Friodurs, Weltmeister, Elsava, Bethleham Star, Hess 44, no-name Eishartung, I tried a Helje stainless (blade was too small however...). The other INOX blades I'm looking for to add to the collection would be a Puma INOX, and the Filly. And those are both rare birds.
Peeved?
Oh yes!:rant:
:)
I guess my only shaving related peeve is the fact that the grain on the right side of my neck goes in such a way that it CANNOT be shaved ATG. Scything XTG does about as well as can be done, but it's still not perfect.
People who use "splash" to refer to aftershave.
My pet peeve.
People who tell others their pet peeves.:D
I have nothing that peeves me off, I'm fairly mellow.
What? No peeves! Are you sure your'e from Lancaster County?
