saving with a straight razor!

so i want to expand my manliness into the realm of shaving with a straight razor.
They are pricey, but you never need another razor i suppose. Bit of a learning curve too its seems. Anyone have any experience before a spend a couple hundred bucks?

You have better things to spend a couple of hundred bucks on.
(things for which there is not a huge array of suitable substitutes)

I thought about it way back. My conclusion was that people switched to the safety razor for a reason. Also convenience.

Do it! It's extremely sexy.

I'd never be able to learn. I shave about once every few weeks and only get a little goatee and a stache comparable to my hispanic neighbors 13 year old son.

Google Best Made Co. Much easier manliness. Or buy a real 2 stroke chainsaw.

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

I thought about getting a straight razor. Then I decided I don't shave nearly often enough to warrant one, but I am going to pick up a safety razor kit.



Obviously a gold one, gotta have the bling, yo.

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

I dunno, I can stretch one of the Mach 3 inserts to last over a month.

Last razor you ever need is nice, but I spent maybe $30 a year on the inserts, like John says, there's way better things to spend money on.

Also, I can get epic facial cuts with the greatest of ease. I could probably open a vein with a diaper.

I wish I could stretch a mach 3 to over a month. I get about 3-4 shaves out of one, then its dead

I get 3 months easily but I only have to shave once every 5-10 days.
I shave in the shower and use conditioner to soften up the facial hair.
Nose hair on the other hand...

conditioner tends to clog my pores up.

One has never truly bled like a stuck hog "experienced a close shave", until one has horribly gashed "shaved" about their person with a Rolls Razor....
