    Default Whos the boss?

    I'm going to name my Straight Tony, because it showed me who the boss was today.

    After a successful first shave. I was feeling pretty good. ing
    Shave this morning was a little worried becausei had some skipping on my first pass. checked my lather and it just needed some more water.. phew.

    Everything was going well. was doing a diaganol pass(afraid of atg yet) and i must have twitched or something because i ended up with a nice clean cut below my sideburn.

    This thing is so sharp, that wheni cut myself, i do not even know until i see the blood.

    After finishing up i put witch hazel on my face, followed by my ASB, then some antibacterial on the cut itself.

    I've noticed when ever i pause for a brief moment with the blade against my skin, stuff happens.

    even with the cut though, no irritation

    Tony has slayed the DE

    The more you use Tony, the more comfortable you will get with him. You will undoubtedly become the "Master of Your Domain"

    Have fun,

    I think I'll call one of my razor Marvin..

    "Here I am... sharp as a razor.. and all they let me do is remove some stubbles from his face..Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't."

    I think I even tamed the "wild cat" shavette... so I'm the BOSS

    My razor's arriving Monday (my first legitimate one), and I already know she's a woman.

    How?

    Only a woman can be so scornful yet delicate in the flip of a switch.

    I'll be sure to tell you all her name, once she tells me. Probably Delilah. I trust her, she cuts my hair, and demasculates me occasionally.

    Am I the only one who's looking forward to having a small scar (see: Harrison Ford's chin), and when people ask how I got it I can say "shaving...with my straight razor."

    Maybe it's the sadist in me, but a razor-scar would be cool.

    No I will wear my scar like a badge. Its one that I am proud of even though it was a mistake I made. It was a mistake I made learning a new skill that I am very proud to be a part of

    The sharpness of these edges is fascinating, isn't it? You so right about how hesitating even for a second can mean the edge melts into your flesh. Thankfully it is painless or nearly so.
