@ThePsyOfLife Tried to get my recently retired, newly bearded uncle into traditional wet shaving and he's having none of it lol.

@ThePsyOfLife I felt so betrayed by society when I experienced safety razors for the first time. Don't get me wrong in a pinch they have their advantages but I can't believe how ubiquitous to the point of exclusionary to alternatives they became

@rizzleperizzle I was always suspicious of those multi-bladed monstrosities. There had to be something up with them. Too good to be true, is what I thought.

@ThePsyOfLife Yes double edge razors are also referred to as safety razors or DE razors. Lots of aliases :)

@ThePsyOfLife Lol yes. I had a beard for a while and loved not having to shave (with cartridges). Prob would've stayed that way but then I got sleep apnea and had to wear a mask and the facial hair got in the way. Figured if I had to shave again I might as well try the old school way then I found it was actually enjoyable and fell head first down the rabbit hole :) My wife likes facial hair so there's that. Currently rocking mutton chops like it's 1822 :)

@DrJackBrown The last scenes of Stand By Me where Richard Dreyfuss (one of the characters as an adult) is remembering his friends.

What movie scene (not the whole film) is most accurately encapsulates your own, 'Coming of Age' moment?

I've been falling asleep to peter and the wolf lately. Don't judge me lol

Oh, hello. Here’s some throwback thirst for you, and it’s not even Thirstday™️.

@BeckyBunzy Thirst quenchers have been exported to CS. Happy days are here again! (Well here for the first time i guess- you know what I mean :)

@ayankdownunder I have that same stubble skin combo- led me to a strange outcome too in that I don't use soaps or traditional creams. I use mild DE razors with sharp blades but just canned edge shave gel for protection. I use the Razorock gamechanger .68 blade gap. With traditional soaps and creams it's too mild but with edge shave gel it's perfect. The jagger was too mild for me with soaps and creams. I've been meaning to try it again with the shave gel. We'll see how it goes. Beautiful razor!

@ayankdownunder I just recently worked up the courage to try feathers. I have coarse stubble so- gamechanger :). Wish I had tried them earlier. What's your preferred razor/s?

Totally with you, @rizzleperizzle. I've been using doubles for about ten years, and would never go back to cartridges. Mostly a Feather person, sometimes Merkur for best clean finish.
You?

@ThePsyOfLife Also yes straight razor is a cousin but requires a ton more technique esp going against the grain and when someone else is shaving you that's a whole nother variable.

@ThePsyOfLife Double edged blades can get way sharper and cut cleanly and smoothly. As a result you can take more passes- across the grain and even against the grain for a literally smooth-as-glass result with genuine wow factor. And double edged shaving just FEELS GOOD on the skin. Cartridge shaving was inherently uncomfortable- that's why it feels like a superficial chore. Double edged shaving takes longer but is actively enjoyable- great start to the day. That's it in a large nutshell :)
