I AM A JEDI

STRAIGHT RAZORS

FOR ME PLEASE

It involves slicing your whiskers off with an incredibly sharp, enormous unprotected blade. Every move perfection.

Shaving with a straight razor is the ultimate form of Traditional Shaving. It is jedi level and the rite of passage every Traditional Shaver aspires to. It requires total zen-concentration and a very precise hand. It rewards or punishes your efforts accordingly. It is not practical. It is not the quick and easy way. It is not the safe way. But it is the Ultimate way.

One day when Iโ€™m big, I will be able to master this challenge. Until then I just dream of it. To learn more about this Art Form, I have to refer you to the other gurus.
