Shave THIS
I tell ya, shaving with a straight edge razor - not as easy as you might think (and finding that picture was a bitch, too).
I've been meaning to get my hands on a razor for months now. I often had conversations like this:
(conversation about shaving, or facial hair, or jam)
"That reminds me, I want to try shaving with a straight blade razor."
"Oh yeah, like the ones barbers use?"
"No, like a coke-head, down-the-street-not-across-the-road razor."
"You're retarded."
I was hanging out in the Den down at Tech Crew a few days ago when Mandy was sorting through some shit that had been laying around and came across a box of blades.
"Oooh, gimme one of those."
"No, you're going to do something stupid."
Well, I'm proud to say I still have both ears. I didn't even nick myself. I did about half of the right side of my face before I decided I was pushing my luck and went for the Mach 3. I could see what I was doing when I was doing my sideburns, but I had a hard time keeping my hand out of the way for my cheeks. It also felt like the blade was getting dull, but I'm not sure.
I'd call it a success.
Oh, and to everyone who said I was going to hurt myself - thanks for the vote of confidence. Assholes.
