I hate 'Unobtainium' even more today. Read my lips: when a product is readily available at other web sites - or even if it has been discontinued but is still offered occasionally on eBay or on the BST forums - it is NOT unobtainable.

I hate the term hard / tough / coarse beard.
With sensitive skin, those're the magic words to avoid studying technique.

Me too, at first everyone thinks to have both.
BUT, never seen an experienced user to speak about such these things.

Unobtainium, lol.  “I’m losing sleep over that special shave soap I should have purchased for $13 in 2019.”  Unobtainium price in 2020: $65 (6 available)

Yeah, I don’t need that soap after all  Big Grin

Skin food.
Sounds like something a millennial simp would use.

May I get a special dispensation? I didn't use the term to describe my beard but the barber in India that was shaving me used it to describe my beard.

Skin food and Anti Aging are definitely the worst Smile

I don't have any terms that annoy me. For me, that takes way too much thought. I come here to learn some things and have fun. However folks choose to express themselves is fine with me. Everyone on this forum that I have encountered is polite and that is what matters to me.

A man, without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him; and even this it cannot do long if the signs of power do not arise.

"Hand tied" in reference to brushes. It's not a term of quality as most brushes are hand tied. For that you have to look at the person behind production.

I'm STILL upset with "I had to do a minor amount of BUFFING!"

Learn better technique and you won't have to "buff".

A euphemism for incorrect or poor shaving skills.
