    Years ago, I learned to shave with just about any sharp, straight edge (yes, I even practiced with a razor sharp axe). It’s interesting how the ‘fine edge control’ transfers to other activities; using a kitchen knife, swinging an axe, cutting with a Xacto, etc.

    In the apocalypse, I will be the clean-shaven villain, who is surrounded by all the hot mutant ladies who adore my pretty jowls!

    Edit: I use cannabis daily. I found I can shave quickly with a straight razor (after years if practice), or I can shave high. But not both. FTR: cutting yourself a bit here and there simply isn’t as bad as it sounds.

        I’m so glad I learned to use shave creams and safety razor. The experience is miles better than foam and disposable razor.

        You get a bit of aromatherapy and a good shave without clogging the razor constantly.

        I find shaving much more mediative with brush and hard soap. It took a little while to learn the technique and the directions my hair grows in but it’s a much more enjoyable process than with a cartridge razor and canned soap. Plus I can change my blade every 4 shaves or so and it’s like 10p a shave so much cheaper than cartridges.

      Don’t forget the shiny jumpsuits and garages full of sports cars. You never know when you might want to upgrade to being a Bond villain.

        Already have the jumpsuit. Crotchless, silver, soft on the inside.
