Thread: A "rerun" worth watching

Merry Christmas, or should I say Joyeux Noel et un Bonne Annee from Cajun Country.

I had some honing questions so I not only re-watched that portion of the Lynn Abrams DVD, I wanted to re-watch the whole thing and did.

It really picked my spirits up because it addressed things important to me that I didn't think to ask about, like tightening the pins and polishing.

What I have enjoyed about this new retro shaving hobby is that you keep finding out more and more things of interest.

During the initial screening I couldn't take time to understand things like the grinds of the blades because it was all I could do to learn how to shave. I'm embarrassed to say I bought some of my razors without a clue of the details.

I hope I don't sound patronizing in my remarks about the video, but it's really kind of nice to re-watch something a few months later after you aren't quite as overwhelmed and feel you have another resource of information you didn't realize you had.

Things are really coming together 9 months after beginning this journey and I'm sure a year from now I'll know a lot more about this than I do now.

Without the help and ongoing encouragement of others, right now I'd be back flip flopping between the Fusion, the disposables, and electric razors, and shaving would once again be a necessary evil.

Great video! Better in reruns!

Hello, CaliforniaCajun:

Merry Christmas.

The video by the noble Lynn Abrams is not only noteworthy for the depth of knowledge it conveys, in detail that is easy to digest, but also for its intimate and unpretentious tone. I especially like it because it chooses not to be slick Hollywood; rather, Lynn succeeds in having a conversation with his viewer. That is difficult to do, but he succeeds. Listening to him, you know you're listening to the master who does not have to pretend.

Regards,

Obie
