Picked this up This Morning

From the Art of Manliness....

Hopefully by now you’ve made the switch from shaving with the Mach 32 (or whatever number of blades they’re on) to shaving with a classic safety razor. You’ve probably been enjoying the better shaves and affordability that safety razor shaving provides. But if you’re ready to really level up your shaving routine, it’s time to add in the classic straight razor shave. You’ll get the closest shave you’ve ever had, and you’ll reduce your costs substantially over the long haul because you’ll never have to buy another razor again.

my lady still shaves with a mach of some number.. i have been considering using it on my face.. i mean.. afterall.. it provideded a good shave back in the days when i didn't know what a good shave was..

should i give it a whirl?

on the other hand.. i'm considering dropping a couple hundred on the pils to see how it works..

It was that article on TAOM that helped me take the plunge, mainly because it had a link to THIS great place. But once I got here and started looking at (and drooling over) the razors for sale, I knew I wasn't likely to be a one-razor guy. But hey, what's life without a little fiction?

I had to choose one girlfriend, and I did. But asking me to choose just one razor is inhuman and unconstitutional! Hahahah

i was lucky and stuck with my artist club.. it's the 500 aftershaves that are killing me.

Does anybody know anybody who took up straight shaving as a regular routine and stuck with one razor???

What's the fun in that?

Just one str8 razor? I had five before I even tried my first str8 shave.

One of my work colleagues bought a dovo best quality years back and is only using that blade to shave his face & head. He got into SR shaving because he was spending a little fortune on cartridges. The only money he put in SR shaving since his original razor/strop/brush/soap purchase is a Norton 4000/8000 combo, and a 2nd strop that he pasted with jewelers rouge.

After a lot of searching and RAD rehab I have settled into a one razor routine. I use a scalloped back Friodor, and a stropping technique that I have tweeked over the ages. The razor is always scary sharp, and I just couldn't asked for more from a razor. So...minus the discovery ....the author is correct....except that darned Damascus bug wont go away!
