Isn't all this covered by YMMV?
Disassembling a razor after each shave. I load the blade once for the week and good to go.
The "Wet shaving" term.
Which of course is wrong,anybody that uses WATER when shaving "wet shaves" even if he uses a disposable razor and canned shaving foam.
My grumpy list
5.Straight razors are cool, hones are just sharpening tools and not an art form.
11.(11 is better than 10,right?) You don't need to tape the spine to hone a straight. If the razor lasted 100 years without tape it will last a few more without tape.
Menthol burn isn't pain, its bliss.1. AS with a "nice" burn. Are you kidding me??? People who like inflicting pain on their person should never meet me in a dark alley as I don't carry a change of pants.
If that were the case there would be nothing but Mercury Tracers & Plymouth Reliants on the roadTop shelf gear performs just as well as other bottom shelf good products
I'm of the opinion that most of them are on the take.I know that most all of the YouTube shaving celebrities say that they break down the razor after every shave.
Haha...I forgot about the micro bevel!#5 - when you've honed your blade and it came out great but you don't know why... it's an art lol!! Kind oh like voodoo's an art. Just saying.
#11 - it's not about the spine! It's about the micro bevel!
LOL
A lot people drink the cool aid because their told to in order to be a (wet shaver).Menthol burn isn't pain, its bliss.

My list:
- Its only shaving, no need to get yer tighty whities in a knot over anything
I agree with all but #6 , I guess not everyone drinks the cool aid.1. It's just shaving. At the end of the day, all you're doing is removing hair from your face.
2. I don't care about parabens.
3. Artisan soaps aren't always better than the mass produced long established brands.
4. I don't like spending anymore than 10 minutes shaving. That includes finishing up.
5. I don't care what temperature the water is when I'm shaving.
6. I have only been clean shaved a handful of times since mid 2015 and I don't care.
7. I won't spend more than $50 on a razor. I did once on a Weber and I didn't like it. I sold it not long after I bought it.
8. I can use a Bic Disposable razor and get a decent shave.
9. Pre-shaves did absolutely nothing to improve my shave so I stopped using them.
10. Most people who say they have sensitive skin don't actually have sensitive skin.
I think having a beard is more so "because I can." After getting out of the military, there's no one ordering me to shave, so I don't. I would be perfectly fine without a beard, it's not like it's a part of my personality.I agree with all but #6 , I guess not everyone drinks the cool aid.
I go back and forth with a beard, when I don’t have a beard I shave everyday.I think having a beard is more so "because I can." After getting out of the military, there's no one ordering me to shave, so I don't. I would be perfectly fine without a beard, it's not like it's a part of my personality.
One of these days I will try a SE razor, lots of people love them.My previous post had a disdain for SE shaving. I've been getting tremendous shaves with some Gem razors so I'd like to recant that bit.
