I say it'd look extremely badass, but then you have the hassle of the strop, room to move, etc. Maybe a DE shave at the gym?

I havent shaved at the gym exactly. Last time I was in afghanistan we had a 20 sink 20 shower cadillac set up. We were only allowed to use it 2 times per week, so when I had my chance to use it, I did it up big time. Hung my strop and everything. I had a few gawkers and alot of questions, but mostly just that look of WTF is that dude doing over there. LOL. I say do it if you can manage. Give people something to talk about at the very least.
Being badass do's not compute with me,have used straights in R.V. parks all over the west,ya you get some strange looks,some questions.
But what the hay,is the way i roll.At my age I could care less.THIS IS THE WAY I SHAVE every day.
Your not putting on a show,your just friggin shaving.
That's true for *us*, but I'm not sure it's true for *them*. :)
While shaving with a straight has been a near-daily part of my life for a number of years now and as such is just what I do, I think most people do see what we do as weird, insane, dangerous, cool, stupid, badass... take your pick.
I'll just shut up then.
i would dread someone asking me if i used a cut throat after watching the latest james bond film then i would inevetibally want to cut them. take your kamisori!
Them = those who are unfamiliar with the concept of straight razor shaving being a normal part of life.
And whether one cares what people think does not change the reality of their reaction. I don't care what people think about my shaving with a straight either. But that doesn't mean that people don't have a reaction to the idea. And that - in the context of a thread about shaving in a public space - is what I was saying. If one chooses to shave with a straight razor in a space such as a gym, one should probably account for the high probability that it will precipitate a reaction.
Get them ducks Pixel !!!!! :rofl2:
