Kind of gross looking esp at 200X but a picture is worth you know the rest
Your right kind of gross, but very informative! Thanks for the picture.
DAMN! I'm sure your face actually looks very clean and smooth, but the zoomed up shot is just really nasty for some reason. The hairs look like lesions that were cut open.
Jeeeesh!!
I think I'll stick to lookin' at my face at 1X... :)
Gentlemen:
That picture is the perfect exhibit to step away from BBS. For myself, I am so enthralled with the ritual of wet shaving with the straight razor that BBS is of little importance. Whether I get BBS or not means little to me. Did I enjoy the ritual? That's what matters.
Regards,
Obie

Imagine looking at an SEM of your face. You'd run for the hills.
A collaborator and I use a lot of "biofilm" specimen under TEM and SEM for analyses, but never would I want to do that with something I enjoy or for that matter, my face :D. Come to think of it, I think at some point, I did do that (with scrapes off my (or his) skin. This was ages ago. Hmmmm :hmmm:...gotta see if I can find those pictures in the archives somewhere) and really gross you guys out :)Quote:

This is perfect Obie. We're all so worried about perfection nowadays, but why did we start using straights? For enjoyment. It reminds me of those commercials advertising charcoal; their slogan is "slow down and grill." Sometimes we need to stop, take a step back, and go back to basics. Love it.Quote:

dude :eek:
Ignorance is bliss...I try not to think about bbs .I come close enough ,which is enough. I , like Obie enjoy the ritual and the rest just falls into place .Now... on that note.....I'm gonna go and make a sandwich..you'll not shake this stomach oooohhhh nosiree ! Good shave ya'll !! :D
Way, way, way too much information!
I've examined my face with my wife's simple magnifying make-up mirror, which was plenty close enough.
This really creeps me out!
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Looks like scabs or cigarette burns on skin.......
Damn interesting though.
No kidding. In fact now I think I'll start a new forum - NRP (No Razor Place)!Quote:

But like Obie, it's the romance of the ritual that hooked me on straight razor shaving.
Namaste,
Morty -_-
oh.. i just had flashbacks of seeing my mom with cirrhosis as a kid.. definitely not a pretty sight.. i'm taking the next few days off of shaving.
That pic looks like three chancres.
I'm gettin' a mite bit hungry...
This seems to really bring the 200x pics of sharpened edges into better perspective... :tu
Seriously dude, that looks nothing like any baby's bottom I've ever seen. I think you are doing something wrong, on oh so many levels....!
