Allegedly, a DIY straight razor shave is a euphoric, Zen-like experience. I've had one at a local Blacksburg barber several years ago and have always wanted to give it a shot. This year Santa accommodated. A Zen-like state would be fine, but I'm looking for more of an old-man orgasmic outcome.
You'll cut your eye out....
I hated when my dad said "go get me the razor strap" after a minor infraction like breaking a window
I'm sure a medical professional would say "stop taking any asprin or other blood thiner at least 10 days before you use that razor for the first time"
Kudos to anyone who dumps disposable razors. The cheap and easy plastic life has bitten us all in the arse in so many ways.
Unpleasant consequences for not paying attention isn't a bad thing imo.
requires a steady hand,.... :o
for some reason this Pink Floyd song came to mind...

Mudwall, your hipster game is so strong I feel you are wasting your talents in that VA backwater. That, or we are all paying witness to the vanguard of Portlandification which once established will expand out to Doug & Jacob's doorsteps.

I'm so hip I don't shave. I clip.
And I fish.
