Thread: first REAL straight shave!

ive been working with knives for about 15 years for about ten hours a day so that might be why it went easier for me, and the hospital is only 5 minutes away.

I was explaining the virtues of straight shaving to an Irish friend, and he couldn't believe that people were still doing this.

'So you don't shave in the shower?'

No I don't shave in the shower. I don't particularly fancy the risk of slipping, and being in a very small enclosure with lots of movement and 3 inches of the sharpest steel in my house (save perhaps the scalpel that we have on standby for removing splinters)

YEah shaving in the shower has always n my mind been a bit dangerous forget about dropping the soap drop the razor blade and things could get nasty just imagine claret everywhere and a razor sliding around the shower. The only accident in the shower i ever had was knocking the glass dish of the holder whilst being a little bit more energenic than usual and having that glass dish smashing my foot apart. Cough Cough

Shower+shaving? sounds like a sure recipy for accidents to me. Plus it can't be good for those carob straights that I use either!

Good on the shave though! You have another razor on it's way to you. You'll be able to intorduce a bit of variety that way.
