Thread: Just another mind blowing straight shave

You're working for your electric razor, Maaaaaann! :-)

Talking about using second rate forms of shaving, I remember I couldn't help thinking to myself the last time I used my M3 (as a reminiscent experiment), " Geez this thing is bloody tiny and awkward!" All the while having images in my mind of the main character in 'North by Northwest' shaving in the bathroom at the train station with this tiny little razor that he'd borrowed off the movies Heroine. The bloke shaving beside him giving him a second stunned glance upon noticing the tiny contraption in his hand.

Remember Brian he commutes from Winchester- No Thanks. I understand the stress factor Allan. For non DC area residents, worst traffic In the United States, just behind Los Angeles. Enjoy those wet shaves AFDavis1- John

Someday I'd love to pull up next to someone in traffic who's grabbing a quick shave with a straight razor in his car on his way to work.

Brian (DiyGuy) only knows me from my apartment, which I've been renting for almost a year. I've been able to miss a lot of commuting this year. I'll likely be returning to a daily 4 hour commute around October. Normally, at work, I can come and go as I please, but somedays I actually have to be there at a specific time. I think if I weren't married I would seriously consider jumping off the grid, finding a nice piece of rural America, and start teaching college. Government consulting work has really worn me out. These guys are in their own little world. They don't understand budgets, commitment, or how to work together.

Last week though, was pretty cool. I came to work on Thusday without even shaving and broke out of a meeting in the afternoon, to go sailing.

Unfortunately, for me, the work day often begins with a search of my body and my car for cell phones and weapons, so no straights allowed in the car.

Of course, you do realize they can put a "bug" in your electric razor; something they can't do to your straight. You are living dangerously on the edge!

Believe me when I say, they can put a bug in a straight if they want to. Just because you're paranoid doesnt mean theyre not after you.

Please no offence to anybody but when I see somebody having a shave with an electric while they are stuck in traffic I am thinking you poor person, somebody needs to show you the finer things in life such as having a luxurious wet shave in the solitude of your lair such as your forefathers did when the only traffic was the horse and cart roped up outside.
