I think #9 should be moved up several places. JMO

Thou shall pass on the knowledge of straight shaving to all heathens who worship the fallen one, who goes by the name of...Disposable, so that they can learn the error of their ways.

Though shall share the love and educate the lessors?

I have been slowly unleashing the concept of straight shaving on FaceBook to my friends...gotto go slow as they probably will think I'm crazy if I dump it all at once.

Though shall improve stropping technique to the point of feeling comfortable stropping on ones own hide?

Too much? I actually did this and learned that my palm and forearm work quite well as strops.

(Que the jabs/jeers about stropping in the nude)

Thanks for absolving me Mick. I feel a lot better now and won't fear my razors will smite me if I honor the wrong one.

4. Thou shalt not strop naked!....does half naked violate this law?...

9. Thou shalt lock the door whilst shaving...I get anxiety if I lock my door..as if my razor is going to kick me outta the bathroom!...

10. Thou shalt clean up thy mess after shaving..yea..cleanup the wifes sink area..her side is nicer and smells better...

I figure that there is no need to lock the door. My kids will just beat on it if I do....and should I cut my head off or something, I would prefer the EMTs/coroner have an easier time removing my body.

I mean it is bad enough that I'll be dead without a full clean shave, but I'd hate for my wife to have to hire a carpenter to fix the door frame....he would probably put the moves on her. She would be in a frail state of grieving and his lame moves would probably somehow work...they would make out and stuff...eventually he would move in on my razors too. I am sure he would be a real idiot and would probably do something stupid like use them for a wood plainer and destroy the edges.

No....this whole idea really ticks me off...clearly, the better choice (for my razors) is to leave the door open.

But then your taking all the fun away from the EMS guys getting to break the door down and you never know your wife might then hit off with one of them. They move in get your razors and use them to cut seat belts. Then in a way you are saving lives.

Thou shalt not breathe whilst shaving thine neck.
