Straight Razor Opinions...
So I love the feel of a shave with a good straight razor. Ever since I was a kid and my local barber would (being a kid with no facial hair of course) trim my sideburns and around the back of the neck, I have loved it. However, over the years less and less places especially in Commiefornia will even go near a straight razor. Finally, I cannot take it so I am going to learn and do it myself.
Much like my car I no longer need to rely on a mechanic to change my oil, I no longer will look for the remaining few barbers who will give me a good straight razor shave. So who here is into this Hobby (as it were) and has some advice for me? Any tips? favorite blades? etc let me know. :cheers: (The other reason for the waning amount of real barbers is because many go for the female side of the house license and fewer and fewer are getting barber licenses.) |
The old barber shops that are still around, you can still get the straight razor shave. If you're near a black barber shop...take note, they still give razor cuts and damn good at it.

While I was in Iraq and Kuwait I'd go for a haircut and the Middle Eastern barbers would use a straight razor to shave us. They would also rub alcohol on your neck and then light it on fire to trim off the fuzz. Scared the crap out of us.
