Because that is 20 minutes of my day I do not need to listen to your nagging voice grating on every last nerve in my body.

Okay maybe I am having a bad week.

For me there was several reasons why I got into str8s, one beeing that I knew my mom would freak out about it.

Exactly. It still blows my mind how old the thing is, or who could've used it, when I'm shaving w/ my W&B 8/8ths....love the nostalgia of it all. Cool profile pic, BTW.

i do it to be diffrent, and i like old things. most 16 yr olds are out partying, I trap and hunt in my spare time, most 16 yr olds want a flashy car to pick up girls in, I like working on my 84 ford f250 and having my dog ride with me. most 16 yr olds use axe and other cheesy smellign stuff, i like using old spice and tai winds (which is from the 70s,) most 16 yr olds wouldent consider feeding hogs to be a great job i look foward to farm work and farm play most 16 yr olds use a bic disposible to take care of the few hairs they have, so i use a straight because i like being the minority in the group.


luse i got to meet all of you fellows

Deerhunter1995, where you from in PA? Ever heard of the village of Muse?

central pa mastershake cant say i have heard of muse im close to penn state universitys main campus and football team.

There is a satisfaction in opening my shaving drawer and not finding that my wife has taken my last good disposable mach 3 and killed shaving all her parts!!

I like the history the feel and the satisfaction of a good SR shave and the look on my wifes face as she thinks i am nuts while shaving.

PS it is the only time she is quite for more than 5 minutes at a stretch!!

Bravo for " all of the above" answers ! !
