    Did anyone else watch CSI last night and cringe when Hodges was ruining that beautiful blade by turning in the edge while stropping it?

    I did not see it, but don't you find it interesting that we (real straight razor shavers) notice all the shaving flaws in movies and tv shows. I know there are quite a few episodes of M*A*S*H where the guys are using straights and I always cringe when I see their "technique"

    That's not "too bad", usually the one stropping appears to be having a grand mal seizure' arm flailing about slicing and dicing with the strop either bowed down or tight as a drum. It's painful to watch
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    I have watched only a bit of CSI, and by far the most cringeworthy part are the horrible, horrible colour filters. The lousy scripts come in close second though.

    On the other hand, CSI: Miami has an aged David Caruso in a painful amount of make-up spouting classical one-liners, though.

    Don't worry about the blades they are all theatrical props with no real edges.

    Still, it's painful to watch.

    Yes, her shaving was horrible. But I've said it before and I'll day it again. Taking a bath with Marina Sirtis? Who cares how she shaves?
