just recieved my first one in the mail. It's vintage style. Was curious if anyone on here used these at all? I need to pick up a good brush and strop soonish, but I'm going to give it a go here in a bit without those (I purchased them pre-honed and pre-stropped so it's not that big o deal at this point).
you could put an Emfire release on for 2 minutes and you would be a sleep before it finishes - Chunky
it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles
i've had a professional shave in a barber shop in toronto once...the proper kind where they really know what they're doing. obviously, best shave of my life. whether i'd trust myself not to screw that up is another question. hopefully you've got a steady hand!
I'm too clumbsy in the morning .. I'd hack my face off !

This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.
^ yeah that's what i've been reading. Not going to even bother with going against the grain for a few weeks i think. I'll also need to get good with stroppin' as well.
was really just sick of buying mach 3s. thought i'd try something more cost effective, environmentally friendly, and from what i've been hearing, gives a smoother shave than the disposables.
if i can remember, i'll post a before/after pick for those interested. Unless, of course, i slice through....

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
Also been toying with the idea of using a straight razor. They seem to be quite expensive for a piece of razor. And do they really shave that clean?

Oh. My. God. James absolutely obliterated the island tonight. The last time there was so much destruction, Obi Wan Kenobi had to take a seat on the Falcon after the Death Star said "hi and bye" to Leia's homeworld.
I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

the new ones are very pricey. about 100+ all the way up to 1grand.
However, i just picked up two different ones, both 5/8's, for under 80 dollars for both, including shipping from california. I found them both on Straightrazorplace.com They do some inter-forum buying/selling/trading. Some really nice guys on there always willing to help out noobs like myself. They all advised me to buy some vintage ones so that if I didn't like it, i wasn't sunk into cost. Check it out imo. There are some other great forums like BadgerandBlade as well.
That guy makes it look effortless, even against the grain.
And this being GYY, I kept expecting to see him slice his neck open
