is it Hoy.Boy The Warwick's b-day?

Well I'm intimidated by it, but it seems like the only real concern is razor burn. I've been wanting a safety razor for a while now. Something about nearly 10 bucks a pop for a pack of decent (but still shitty) disposable razors,...or extortionist prices for 9 bladed (hyperbole) refill cartridges you have to buy for those "oh sweet a free razor in time for my 18th birthday" that Gillette sends in the mail.

Or

5 bucks for 10 double edge blades and a few searches on google to learn how to properly wet shave.

My father has used the safety razor for a few years, and I've used it a few times. Remember, keep your face really wet, aftershave right after you...shave, and let the weight of the razor do the work.

Looks at you, becoming a man on your birthday!

Lol.

This is also one of those,....lost art,...analog man in a digital world things.

[behndy]

fuck the bullshit. easy no prep/aftercare electro razors for life yo!

[warwick.hoy]

My facial hair destroys all but the costliest of electric razors.

Fun Fact,...the neighborhood kids; who hated me, used to call me Hoy Boy the Belo Boy when I was growing up. Belo being a "Gross Out" style discount grocery store that was up the street.

The Art of Manliness

[Chankgeez]

I've shaved with a safety razor for most of my shaving career. I wouldn't shave with anything else.

(I've always entertained the thought of getting a straight razor, but I've got sensitive skin and don't like too close a shave.)

Yeah, I'm a fan of appropriate technology and a safety razor's appropriate enough for me.

I'm also reminded of the SNL parody of razor commercials from the '70s. They were making fun of a triple bladed razor. Joke's on them.

I definitely like the Safety Razor,...at this point it's a cost effectiveness thing. I didn't get as close of a shave and it was more time consuming but for a first timer I expected it to be that way. I'll have to adjust my morning routine,...(bathe then shave instead of the other way around) and I'll get the hang of it and get a better shave when I start making it a daily part of said routine (I'm lazy when it comes to shaving,...it's normally a pain in my ass but having the right tool makes it more enjoyable hence more motivated,...gah,...so much for a Playoff Beard this year).

Happiest of Birthdays to you James!
I made you a cake!


Cheers!

that is clearly a Spector cake >:T

[Joe Gress]

I don't shave except my neck. Cheapie ones are ok, but the mega expensive five blade ones are damn awesome. Fuck if I'm gonna pay that much though.

Oh, and happy birthday!

[JamesHommersen]

Happy Birthday!

[Chankgeez]

...(bathe then shave instead of the other way around) ...

Yeah, bathing then shaving is definitely the way to go. The hot water opens up your pores and you get a better shave.
