^ No way in hell I’m shaving myself with that weapon.
That straight is nice but you also have to buy a strop which isn’t cheap. Plus you can cut yourself bad. I’d rather just toss 10 cent blades after using them three times.
I shaved my head, but left patches that spell out “CFA rocks”.
x2 this. My entire plan was to never blade shave again so I splurged on a $300 braun 760. It does at least as good a job as I ever did with blades, doesn’t irritate me, takes all of 45 seconds if I do it every day, and cleans itself. Blades always irritated the crap out of my skin and made me break out (no matter what cream I used), so I’ll stick with this.
I believe this man wants to be hired. Any takers?
If it takes me more than 30 seconds to maintain my hair in the morning, it’s time for a haircut. Many people say I look better with longer hair but I find it more practical to have it short.
I used to have a safety razor just like that only I kept chopping my face up or missing hair on my chin and neck. After a few years I eventually got rid of it, I ruined a few shirts with blood stains because of the damn thing so that definitely needs to figure into the operating cost as well.
I’ll post my haircut in a few moments here, just need to get set up.
bad technique brah. You can’t use a safety razor the same way as a cartridge. No pressure on the face for each pass. And unlike a cartridge where you make one pass, with a safety razor you will probably make three. With, against, and then maybe with the direction of hair growth. Watch a video on youtube by mantic59. Yes, your face will look like hamburger if you don’t know what you are doing. Takes me a couple of minutes and I never cut myself.
So this brings me to an interesting story;
I grew up in the golden age of rap, in ca '91 when I was about 7-8 years old and not realising that I was pigmentally impaired (white) I asked my dad to take me to the hairdresser so I could get a gumby haircut like my idol at the time, bobby brown.

My dad had a bit of a chuckle and said okay lets go. So we hit up the hairdresser down the street which was run by a bunch of Russian and Persian ladies and I show the hairdresser the picture of my crack smoking idol and she starts to laugh saying that she can’t cut my hair like that but she could cut the hair of the kid sitting next to me like that. He asks in Farsi if he could get his hair cut like mine and the hairdresser, his mom and my dad all laugh at the two of us. Anyway, I share this because I think it was one of the most disappointing days of my life, even worse then failing level three.
Anyway, after about twenty years I have come to terms with the fact that I am indeed caucasian, so this is how I keep my hair nowadays. I use this picture because according to my ex-gf and my mom I look like a young paul newman, whatever, I still wish I could grow a dope gumpy fade.
That’s actually pretty funny.
