    Fun Fact: Hair has almost the same strength as copper of the same thickness. So you can understand why your extremely sharp, extremely thin blade is going to be suffering damage. You're basically cutting the equivalent of tiny copper wires.

      It makes citation for its claim or else it gets the hose again...
      I've often seen it said, but they don't say in what way- is it as tough as copper against a steel blade, tensile or shear strength etc.
      That being said, it's interesting to think that the most infinitesimally small line of metal of along the very cutting edge of a blade is responsible for the scary sharpness.
      I've heard stropping is more about straightening that edge if it's been wrinkled, folded or dented by particularly thick hair etc.

      I know several guys who say that a straight razor shave is on their bucket list. I always suggest they just ask their barber next time they're getting their hair cut, but none are game enough. People are often surprised when I tell them that I've had one before. I wasn't that concerned, and actually enjoyed it (Although my face did feel pretty raw afterwards) Overall, I don't think I'd be willing to shave myself with one, but certainly will get a shave from a professional with one again.

    They mentioned them before, but if you’re looking for a close shave with less chance of maiming yourself, a safety razor will also do an amazing job! They’re very inexpensive, and blades for them are dirt cheap and made of cool shit like tungsten and stainless steel. Also using a brush and either a cream or a soap with exponentially increase the quality of your everyday shave regardless of the tool you use for hair removal.

    @Rick_Hoppe 3 года назад +23

    The answer to the question of shaving cream, “Do I apply it thick or thin?” has to do with moisture retention. If you apply the cream thin, you run the risk of the foam becoming dryer by the last third of your shaving, causing more drag on the blade (especially in dryer climates). If you apply the cream thickly, the cream and your beard stay moist and soft to the very end, resulting in a smooth shave. This is especially true if you use a brush with shaving “soap” as I do.

      Atta boy old cock. That's hellishly true. Add also that soaking the face in hot water( as hot as can be born) for as long as possible is a hellishly good aid. Hey, y'all Young Ricky is right the thicker the cream/foam the more cover there is for the hair underneath and less chance to dry out. Give Ricky old cock a cigar, he's a good hoss.

      I keep a clean-shaven face and always apply a very conservative coat of gel. For me personally, any more just feels redundant, but I can imagine "drying out" to be an issue for someone doing shaping work etc.
      I also always shave right after a hot shower, meaning my pores are open and the air is humid.

So if a beard directly helps with the job at hand, then yes. It used to be different a couple years ago tho, anyone that was in a spec ops could have a beard but the got rid of that rule because it "wasn't fair" but then again when does the US military care about whats fair?

      Maybe the constant thought of murder lingering in the back of our minds, telling us what could happen and feeding us the visuals of it?
      Or just the shaving, could be either yknow

      I agree, I think it's the fact that he makes it clear how dangerous the tool is but we still put it near our face, lot of sensitive bits there and we can all empathize with the visual of slicing a chunk of skin off our faces like removing the skin of an orange.

    I've been shaving with a straight razor for some time now. My usual routine is to take a warm/hot bath to open the pores, then use water to lubricate the skin while shaving. Afterwards I'll use a light coat of mink oil to soothe any sore spots.

    I've been shaving with a straight razor for half my life, and there's a detail about straight razor shaving that people always seem to brush over which is very important.
    A straight razor shave is the safest shave you will ever have. Not because one kind of razor is easier to cut yourself with than another, but because you're conscious of the fact that you're holding a blade. With a safety razor, or a disposable razor, you feel like you're holding a vacuum cleaner for your face, and as a result it's easy to be cavelier about your motions. With a straight razor, you know you're holding a blade, so you treat it differently by instinct.

      I can see the point you're trying to make, but I still highly disagree that a straight razor is the safest shave.
      Sure ppl will be more careful with a straight razor and more careless with a safety razor, but isnt that due to the fact dangerous aspect of a straight razor in the first place?

    • @stephenburley4581
      @stephenburley4581 4 года назад +13

      brianv3ntura I appreciate this line of thinking, but it overlooks the main theme, which is perception. People are careful with straight razors because they perceive them as more dangerous than other razors, not because there is a statistical difference in how dangerous they actually are. The counterpoint you are probably thinking right now is “but I can clearly see they are more dangerous”. If you are thinking that, it rather proves the point. The blades of any razor cut just as deep, that’s the point of a razor. If you’re thinking “but that’s why safety razors have that casing” you are correct. That’s also why a straight razor folds away. When you’re shaving, which is more likely to give you a Knick? Hard to get stats on it, but from personal experience, it’s hands down the safety... actually, disposables beat out safety for me, but that’s besides the point. If you do stumble on statistical evidence, I’d be really interested in reading it.

      I agree. People think a safety razor can't break and slice you bad. People that handle a straight razor know how to handle a blade in a way they wont make themselves bleed. I've made mistakes with a straight razor but it only cost me a couple drops of drops of blood from a barely noticeable nick.

    Wow! You are one fantastic teacher! And a sense of humour, too.
    I have a set of 5 straight razors in their original pouch, but as much as I tried I could not get the blade anywhere within 2" of my face. I would start to shake. Now I'm in my 70s, I don't shave at all since my barber died 10 years ago.
    The final exam for my old barber was to shave a peach without cutting it.
    Barbarsol was the only shaving cream for me way back when I shaved.
