Odd? Unrelated? I think not [Rivendell sells Porto-Shaving-Cream, so... ].
I am not one to shave often. When I do it's for two distinct reasons: 1. I look up, while brushing teeth, and jump with fright at what I see looking back at me in the mirror. Or... 2. My wife and/or daughter tell me to [because I repulse them]. Fair enough. For years, and because I have a 'Stache, I've simply used an 'lectric trimmer [no, not an actual electric shaver--more of an electric beard trimmer] and it leaves a fair amount of stubble... so I am not really ever -that- shaved right after I shave. So, I grew [pun] tired of the stubbled look and began a search for a non-electric shaver that doesn't look an Apple product or like a Casio "Baby-G" wristwatch, or is not disposable... and it took a minute too. And then I found a site called "Classic Shaving"... wow, the choices were about as endless as looking for a new tire pump on a walk through Interbike. In the end, I selected a nice German shaver, a Merkur [just like my dad used when I was a youngster], some blades, a nice brush, mug and some cream. Cost around $160.00 for the whole setup, but I figure it'll save money over time, space in land fills and I can have a better shave [when I remember to do it]. Anyway else here shave 'Old Skool'? Was tempted to enter my toes into the world of Straight Razors but the prices for those [plus all the additional accessories] -and the thoughts of all the failures while in the Learning Curve stage Re: loss of facial skin- put the kibosh on that. PS--> Guess this could be a Lady-Topic too [but I doubt many women would own up to having facial hair that needs shaving]. -Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
