I've already told friends and family I'm gonna start using a straight. So far none have actually laughed or called me stupid, just said how they wouldn't be brave enough, which is cool. I have to say though, I'd feel a complete banana if I end up scarring my face even once or twice. Some of you seem to have multiple scars..?
I already have one large (about 1") scar on my cheek, an actual knife-fighting incident (I won) plus a circular scar under my eye (I won that too, but he managed to bite my face!). That's all good and bad-ass... but I have images of people asking "And that one?" "Erm, shaving." "Oh?" "I use a straight razor". "A what?" "A straight razor." "Oh, one of those cut-throat blade things?" "Yes." "What about this scar?" "Shaving." This one?" "Also shaving." "And this one here..?" "Shaving." "Your nose... Shaving?" "Yep."
I'm no beauty contestant but damn... Pain and blood I don't mind so much but scars are somewhat permanent aren't they?
I also shave my head, figured doing so with a straight would be super bad-ass.. but not if I end up with loads of scars all over me head, that would just be bad, without the ass.
Mmm.
The Merker Futur looks nice? :)
