Thread: Just another mind blowing straight shave

After a rather self induced stressful week that included an electric shave or two it was great to whip up a decent soap lather, nice and warm, and bang out another killer shave. nothing new to comment on or report, it's just awesome. I think the off-side of my face gets a better shave than the strong side now.

For all intensive purposes it's BBS, just by going a little across the grain.

On the off side , just under the side-burn I think it is easier now to just go ATG on that little spot in front of the ear.

An extra 30 seconds on the strop might be a nice little touch too.

Sounds good, Alan!

Did I read correctly, AN ELECTRIC?????!!!!!

Yea, you did. Sometimes my life gets a little hectic and I am shaving in the car on the way to work.

Well, you gotta do what you gotta do....

I haven't shaved with an electric in years, but this past winter I forgot my DE (my preferred travel razor) when the wife and I went to Puerto Vallarta. I had to use a 2 blade Gillette disposable, and as much as I hate to admit it it wasn't as bad as I remembered. But switching between razors sure does make you appreciate a fine straight shave though

Yeah, I've had to grab a disposable before, just to get myself looking decent, again. Hated every minute of it, even though the turnout wasn't terrible. Felt great to get back into the swing of the straight.

My wife has gotten into couponing and she got a new five bladed Fusion for less than a dollar. It shaved okay with five blades in a row. But then I remembered that they have a single NON pivoting blade on the BACK! It was sweeeeeeeeeeeet. But, then again, you needed it cuz the five blades can't shave anywhere that is tight.

Friends don't let friends shave with electrics. ;^)

Every time I use an electric, the darn thing shorts out when I run it under the faucet to get the lather off of it.

Did I read that right --- the stress was self induced? What would possess a man to voluntarily take on stress to the point of having to use an electric razor? :-)
