Anyone shaving with a straight razor?

[miko2d]

Anyone out there shaving with a straight razor?

 Any reasons to chose it vs. regular blades or electric?

 What is involved (sharpening, etc.) and how much time/effort is it?

 What are good razors and where to get them?

 Just curious.

OK, who's old enough to shave ???

[MrBill]

Yup, But only when I want a really close comfortable shave that needs to last all day. (seldom anymore)  I use a electric most mornings, lazy.
start here.


I think Yahoo clubs still has a razorplace or something to that effect that used to have good info.  First rule NO STAINLESS, good hollow ground carbon steel.

It is very difficult to use a straight razor on yourself.  I think you will need alot of tissue paper the first few times you try...I did.

It gives you the best shave though...and I "used" to get my barber to give me a straight razor shave after I gave up trying to slit my own throat. But, now that Aids is a concern I stick to a regular razor and do it myself.

I miss barbers using the straight razor, can't find them anymore.  I'd never trust myself with a straight blade though, I nick enough with a safety razor.

[Skuzzy]

Yep, Fatty, I gotta agree with ya.  I would probably be locked in a padded room if I tried to use one due to the numerous cuts,...they would think I was trying to kill myself.

I quit that whole shaving thing.  Electric trimmer for me.

Whats wrong with you guys? Delapidating wax is the answer! Once a week only!

My wife does waxing. She doesn't do my face, but she's waxed my bikini line and my back. Although I have copious amounts of body hair, and am in fact banned from all public swimming pools for clogging up the filters, I've never had facial hair. In High School they used to call me "Lady Yetti" and make me wear lipstick. Man, Miko, you bring back bad memories. I hated High School.
