Ready, Set, GO!!

So, I timed myself shaving today. It took me under 50 seconds to strop, about 1 minute to create a luxurious lather and cover my face, 3 minutes for the first pass, and 1 minute for the second pass...I did push myself a little for speed I admit but no nicks and a nice shave.

"Why?" I bet you are asking. "Why in the hell would anyone bother to time their shave?" Well, I tell you why, a mutual friend of ours, nickelking, is doing a speech for a college assignment on straight shaving and asked me to be his prop. He has to give the speech within an 8 minute time period so he asked me to time my shave in segments so that he can pace his speech to my abilities...yes, I will be shaving in a college class as nickleking goes on about why his fellow college students are shaving wrong and what the proper way to shave is.


Should I invite the young ladies in the class to come feel how truly smooth a face can be after my demo?;):D

For all you out there in SRP land who have difficulty lathering MWF that is what I used for this test run

Sounds like that will be fun. PS: I don't find MWF hard to lather at all.

Don't cut your nose off in front of the college kids.

No, do it!

Those students will NEVER forget it!

Cool! and, Yes, Let's those Co Ed's come up and feel a proper shaved face....:nj

What's your weapon of choice?

Interesting experiment, Mark. Though speed is not a top priority in my shaving realm I am curious about your results.

It turns out that the teacher nixed the idea because the schools insurance wont cover me...so it goes.

That kinna sucks man, and the shame is that in reality you really aren't in any danger :( maybe you could video it and your buddy could show the video and talk.

How about a video? Don't need to insure a video, and on a large screen or projector your face will be even bigger!

Hello, Mark:

For heaven's sake, so goes a lost opportunity for stardom. Hollywood would have been next. Oh, well, life goes on.

Then again, my good man, you are a star at heart.

Regards,
Obie

Yea you could have shown up in period costume like in the Sweeny Todd Movie shaving contest.

Actually if it was me I'd be too nervous and probably would cut myself good.

A shame indeed. But as a previous member suggested, you could still do a video presentation, or perhaps even a live link?

Just an idea, the drawback being the lack of aforementioned co-ed shaving groupies :w

I did:rant:

Ha ! I knew it :roflmao

Even if that was a possibility I think it'd take more than a week to get through all the red tape. I will still be using mark as an interview reference and demonstrating some basics myself. (I plan on shaving right beforehand so the co-eds can feel me up!) if anybody wants to be a bad influence and encourage my laziness, I don't have any of my old links to barbers manuals if you'd like to share some. I'm really looking forward to getting up there and explaining how everybody but me is shaving wrong.

Edit: JMS is like jesus in that he manages to resurrect dead forum members.

I am just impressed that it's an insurance issue and not a matter of the school disallowing you from bringing in an "edged weapon".

Maybe the world isn't as screwed up as I thought... Yet.

Good call!

Can Jesus shave via a wireless video connection "live" during the class? Nice.
