    So as a cheetah, are you gonna strive for the fastest shave on the forum?
    I think I am actually approaching the guiness book of world records for "the longest attempt at a 1st straight razor shave". The goal was labor day but that didn't happen but at least I have everything I need except for a professionally sharpened razor...hurray!

    But that's the point! All's he has are a pile of antique paint stirrers and a strap off an old harness.
    No wonder he ain't shavin. Want me to send you a lil German razor all honed up to start shavin with, Cheetah?

    Nope this needs to be planned out properly.......I want to sell half of the razors that I have collected so far. Way too many. It's actually making it harder for me to decide. I'll get it together though...lol
