Thread: Using a straight razor to accentuate a parting in the hairline

Do you mean like this?

THat is exactly what I was going to say! Ask for a part down the middle, about an inch wide.. That would look sweet!

hmmm sounds like a tough one...

my take would be:

1. find old near worn out straight razor and a hammer

2. place straight razor edge where you want your parting.

3. give spine of razor a good whack with the hammer.... if edge embeds itself in skull you whacked too hard

4. wrench razor free of skull

5. move the razor 1/16 inch to wichever side you want parting

6. repeat step 3-4

7. remove the strip of flesh between the 2 cuts

8. brush away skull splinters and use a balm with aloe vera

sorry just couldn´t help myself, I think you would be better off using a hair trimmer.... I cut my own hair (some would say thats quite easily noticed) and its not that hard to maintain with a trimmer. And use the straight razor for a nice shave

Thats exactly the look I am going for!

The creepy-psycho-guy look?

Let's see what you look like now so we can appropriately evaluate the situation.

I've seen barbers do this and yes it does look good.. i definitely recommend trying it. I've never done it myself however i wouldn't be too worried about trying it.. whats the worst that can happen lol...
