What are we up to now? 6 blades per razor? Maybe 10?

 

Try the feather light razors for those of you using safety razors.

 

I only get my cold once a year and that's it

 

I have 2 Merkur razors and 2 really old straights.

 

Yea the razor itself that I have is a merkur. I should have said blades

 

Had the same working in a civil design firm. Same now for the DoD.

Army.

My son got a head cold and I'm certain he handed it off to me. Fuck.

And on the topic of razors. Gotta shave every day. Still rocking the Mach 3. Bought a lifetime supply of blades at the PX on the last deployment, they had a clearance literally pennies on the dollar. Won't have to buy any for another ten years.

 

Just needed a little TLC before installation on monday. Rust free and new primer and paint.

 

*nicht so gut

 

Worked on an old (last time tested was 1950) elevator today. There is a hemp rope that you pull on to lift and lower yourself.

 

Looks pretty sketchy.

 

Yup. You have to pull hand over hand to pull yourself up the hatch. This is the oldest I have seen in my twenty years.

 

I dig it. Thing still works because it has a simple design.

 

Nicht sehr gut..

 

Shrug. To each their own. My girlfriend complains about itchy-scratchy when I do that. And not always when it's on her face.
Plus, certain odors (see above) wash off of a clean-shaven face much better than they wash off of a bearded one...

Mine's an antique Gilette twin blade (one per side). I spent $10 on it at a pawn shop, cleaned it up, disinfected it, and I've been using it for about 5 years now. I can't help but wonder sometimes who else has used it. Probably a bloated old bastard with a shitload of STD's, knowing my luck.

Don't. The new stainless blades are infinitely better than the old carbon-steel ones. My razor came with a pack of vintage Wilkinson Swords. I tried one and it hacked my face all to pieces, and then it rusted in less than a week. The new stainless Swords I use now don't hack my face, and they don't rust either.

Never had great luck with the Feather brand. Dovo gives my face a really good shave, and the Gilette Platinums work awesome, but fortunately the cheap Wilkinson Swords work really well for me too.

I have my great-grandfather's old straight razor. I've used it a couple of times, and it gives an absolutely amazing shave, but it's so much more time consuming that I only use it on the weekends if I'm in the mood.

WOW! That is really Ye Olde Elevator there!

No habla either-o No speaka da German Either.
Shrug. I took French in high school. Figured it'd come in useful living so close to Quebec. Didn't realize they were teaching us classical French until we went on a road trip and I only understood about 1 word in 3.


Phew. Sorry for the marathon replies; during the weekends I don't typically log on, and then when I do it's either at breakfast or after dark. Now it's off to dinner (promised the GF a night out).
See ya'll later.

 

I didn't use anything to translate for me. Mein Deutsch nicht sehr gut... (again off the top of my head...)

 

Lolol I also have no idea what you are talking about

Rarely get that complaint though. Usually just when I purposely scratch her face with my cheek lol

 

I just googled those razors. It looks like a pain in the ass to use. You have to adjust the depth of the blade and the angle. Plus do you have to use the soap and brush?

 

Think I've found the issue. Seems Tapatalk screwed up my notification settings.

 

Mine neither, 4 yrs in high school but that was some time ago

 

I was only offered French or Spanish in high school.
