Thread: This Might Sound Silly, But...

Tried to post a video, but Facebook wouldn't let anyone see it due to my privacy settings, which I don't want to give up, anyway,
it was rubbish :-).

Regardless, point being, I like using the heel to cut around my goatee and I've learnt a lot, 'nuff said...

You may not have posted the video, but at least you provided some excellent straight razor shaving information. It all made me realize something beneficial I had been doing and didn't take notice.

I just wish I could grow a goatee......

If you can, there will be two tough areas you won't have to worry about shaving. :-)

I used to wear a moustache and goatee several years ago, and am thinking about re-growing it just for a couple of months this fall (though it'll probably be A LOT more gray than it was before ).

I routinely use the heel of the razor to buff my chin and shave the cleft. I find I have lots more control that way.

Don't feel bad, that's how mine looks. I call it "The Schnauzer Look". Of course you can always dye it. ;-)

Vade retro, Sathanas. I promised myself years ago that I would age gracefully. TBH, my hair started to gray when I was in high school. My late mother-in-law (who was one of my best friends) used to say it made me look "extinguished."

Thanks, very kind of you to say so :-)

You're not allowed to or you can't? It took me ages to graom mine, and I have to be carefull not to pull it out, I tend to do that when I'm contemplating things, esp in times of stress!

Yeah, the grey does give one's age away, it's interesting that I have only a little grey hair in my hair (though my twin brother is almost all grey) but I have quite a bit in my beard. As stated above, it makes one look distinguished; I think it'll be a few years before I look 'extinguished' (I hope!!)...
