    Default Old Staight Razor Shaving Video

    OMG, I was surfin' the web and found this old video from the Yahoo SRP days. I think this was one of the first straight razor shaving videos out there and it was originally made on VHS if that gives you any idea. It is a little jumpy. I had some chuckles watching this again and hope you do to.

    Have fun.

    Thanks Lynn! It was one of the first videos I saw on SR shaving. Learning from you folks really shortened my learning curve. Still learning.

    Wow, six hundred members back then. The amount of interest and growth from then until now in SRP and straight razor shaving is stunning.

    It's a great video - very encouraging and charming. Thank you for being brave enough to make it for us neophytes back then. I pretty much copied what you showed when I returned to straight razor shaving a few years ago. Ever considered making a new video? :-)

    I did do the one in the DVD, but I am going to make some short ones for new guys on problem areas and a couple different razors including a couple DE's.

    Still a fun road!

    Thanks guys!

    I like it.
    One question though - how do you talk and shave at the same time?
    I tried it the other day and nearly cut my own throat.
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    Thanks for the video Lynn, every time I watch you shave I pick up another small tip.

    Yeah, Lynn, but in those Yahoo days everyone was shaving with a straight razor. Safety razors hadn't been invented yet.
