I'm Ready For My First DE Safety Razor Shave

Does anyone recall the youtube video from a year or so ago that featured a young man giving a demonstration of shaving with a double edged razor? He dry shaved and cut the daylights out of himself but persevered through the whole process like it was normal.  Thats what I was hoping for here  Good times

YES!!

I really think that dude was trolling. He never flinched, which tells me that he knew every cut was coming. It's a natural reaction to flinch when you nick yourself, even lightly. That dude massacres himself and never flinches. He either has reduced sensitivity in his face, or he was nicking himself intentionally and was ready for it...

That's my opinion, anyhow...

Still would have been very worthwhile if that was the result in this case, though!

Man thats hard to watch, yet you can't look away, like a traffic accident.

Yup Amanthatlovestoshave thats how its done

No, seriously thats how its NOT done.

So you might notice I edited my previous post to add in that the video is an example of how not to shave. I was concerned someone might actually follow my not serious instruction above that. I base that on an experience I had in basic training many years ago. We had been doing some escape and evasion training, the art of not being seen. We were in combat dress with camo paint applied, very handsome I might add. In any case after the exercise I got back to barracks before most of the others and cleaned up. Anybody thats used camo paint knows its a pain to clean off. I used warm water and nivea cold cream and removed it all without incident. A couple of guys walked in looking to clean up at this point and were impressed at how good a job I'd done on my face and hands and asked me how I'd done it. There was a piece of steel wool sitting on a bar of soap next to he sink that some of us had used earlier in the day to scrub our mess tins and I pointed to it and said I'd used that and that it worked great. So these two geniuses go to work on their faces with the steel wool and soap. It took off the camo paint and a layer or two of their skin man, did they have rosy complexions for a day or two. They accused me of being unkind (I think they used stronger words) and I suggested that perhaps they were intellectually deficient. I think they're generals now. Moral of the story, some people just aren't that bright.

Mark, you are so bad!  (So why did I laugh out loud when I read this?  )

Sometimes you just can't help yourself.

Any stud that can survive SERE training, can survive an exfoliating facial scrub with steel wool.

Anyone who knows what SERE is without googling it, is, a well informed stud too.

It will be when it will be.  There are two hours left but I may be called to stand in for a photography session and I really would like to bathe and make and eat dinner, if it's all right with the hordes.  I realize this may come as a shock to many of you but I do have a life.  It isn't much but I like it.

All kidding aside, Dan, I shall keep my word to both Amanthatlovestoshave and those of you who gave of your time but got little in return.  I want to be fair to him as well as the site so if it runs over an hour or two, let's give him the benefit of the doubt.  I believe the 24 hours ends at 4:35 PM PST.
