Thread: So easy a 12 year old girl can do it!!!!

Her name is Bug. She is the daughter of the lady who cuts my hair.

A few months ago Bug was taught how to use a straight razor by a young male barber who worked at the shop. This young man was excellent with a blade and ably passed his skills on to Bug. Bug just turned 12, yet shows no fear when applying a razor to a man's face. As a matter of opinion, she has the lightest touch and the most fluid strokes of the razor that I have ever felt. And I've had a lot of barber shop shaves.

When I asked Bug and her mom if I could photograph and post Bug in action, Bug just couldn't see what the big deal was. I told her that she was one in a billion.

Her mom took pictures while Bug shaved me. I had a seven day growth. Bug used one of my OCD razors, 8/8 full hollow with a fresh killer edge. Bug started at the collar bone and shaved up, making just one against the grain pass with a few touch ups to get the swirls. The result: baby butt smooth. As I am writing this almost a full 18 hours later, I can just start to feel an even short stubble starting to re-emerge.

I'm sorry that I didn't get a picture of my finished face, but that is only a picture of me and nobody wants to see that.

Many thanks to Bug and her mom for making this possible.

I write this to give confidence to all those who are new the the world of Straight Razor Shaving. We were all newbies at one time. But with a little perserverence and a lot of luck, we plowed ahead to become adept at our passion.

So, if ever in the future, you get a little trembling in the hand when you place the straight to your throat , just remember.........IT'S SO EASY, A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL CAN DO IT!!!!!

Thanks
