Thread: Try not to laugh too hard...

Just wait untill you are older and on blood pressure meds and an asprin a day,those cuts NEVER stop leaking ,trust me on that!!

Well, at least you know your razor is sharp.

ouch is all i can say

i do hope that you can get the razor though, i believe that if you have any way of getting it, jump on it.
if it includes having it accidentally "dropped in a bag and replaced with some cash" (i hope and pray it doesn't go to that lol), then so be it, if i had an opportunity to get a straight razor from family anywhere, i would be all over it, doing anything i possibly could

i think that as a few other people said, offer him a little bit more than his highest offer for it so you can keep it in your family

My first razor was a square point, a VERY square point, so I guess I developed a lot of respect early on. I find it really tricky when I do the jaw area, I need to watch it doesn't did in to my neck just below my ear.

Mine too... A Red Imp 133. Scales finalyrotted off, but the tip still as wicked as it ever was.I can't believe I was never smart enough to blunt the tip..... It was my only razor for years until I found this place...

If I laughed at you, it'd be like the kettle calling the pot black. I did my first complete shave last night. My wife counted 8 nicks/cuts/ this morning. None were as bad as yours, though. I'm sure that will come after I get "comfortable" with it ! Kind of like riding a motorcycle, when you get to where you're not scared anymore is when you bust your a$$!
My wife also reminded me that her Grandfather gave me all of his shaving stuff 15 years ago a little before he died. I threw it away....
so sad NOW! I hope you get the old razor!!

I considerede muting the point and posted a question about it here. I took the good advice not to, and just learnt how to use it. The tip on my actually is a point sticking out, as in not square or rounded in the slightest!

So, if spanish and square points cut so easily what is there advantage from a shaving POV?
I have a new dovo forestal which is advertised as a round point but definitely has more of a square edge on it than my other round point blades. this is the one that I have cut myself on the most lately and has got me a but spooked,especially after reading some of these posts. So again, why use spanish or square pont blades?
