Most people I tell think I am nuts and want nothing to do with it. Yeah, I get a kick out of spreading the word. Though I do so less often now.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

I got my brother-in-law into straights, but he gave up already. My nephew has no desire for straights, but he is willing to consider a DE or SE. O for 2 so far. Male co-workers seem to be allergic to shaving as most of the time they show with 7 o'clock shadows at 8am. My only hope seems to be my toddler son. Fingers crossed. I've already discussed proper stropping technique, pressure, and blade angle.

I've converted one guy and gotten funny looks from a bunch of others.

I'd agree with them. consider what you'd think about a guy who spent every free moment talking about tooth brushes. Or lawn ornaments. Or compost. It's good to be enthusiastic about something, but don't expect others to share your passion at the same intensity. Originally Posted by crouton976

Of the people I've told, a few show an interest but most ask what I'd want to do that for and suggest that I just buy a normal razor like everyone else...

Hopefully, she won't have t shave her face because: Originally Posted by dudness

One convert from work but he was already a DE guy. Everybody else just thinks I'm weird or crazy or both. I have hopes for when my son reaches shaving age though.
