I personally use a single blade straight razor. I was told by my barber to not use it as a personal razor because its can be dangerous if you dont know what you're doing. Honestly, if you are cautious, after the first couple of times you start to get the hang of it. it is hands down the best shave a man can get. Plus, nothing is more awesome than shaving with a single knife like blade.

i would oneday enjoy myself a straight razor shave by a barber ... if i could locate one that still does that kind of thing anyway. i do not remember when i did not wear this beard. often i want to chop it completely off but never follow through.

I read something totally different in the title...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

In the documentary "Riding the Rails" (which is about these young people, many of them, during the Great Depression who went all over the country hopping trains- really good movie!) there is one scene that talks about how in some of the hobo camps the regulars kept a mirror hung on a tree with a blade-less razor. The rail hoppers passing through would keep their own razor blade in their wallet to put in the razor itself while they were staying in that particular camp. I thought that was cool.

Phew!
Actually I wondered what vintage shaving could be... I thought, "they didn't shave it back then, did they??"

even if I look and act really crazy.
Mal, I wouldn't object! Just that this particular one brought all sorts of odd visuals to mind.

Ah oh...
I think I misunderstood what y'all mean by...
