Of course in Appalachia such exquisite grammar is quite common.

+1! Yes indeed!
Why do folks here want to excalibur their blades and 3017 their soaps !
Here's one. "I like my [big, heavy grind] straight razor because it plows through x days of growth with ease."
None of my razors care how long the whiskers are, they all cut at skin level regardless
. I once wiped out a two month beard with a tiny, super hollow 4/8

I’m with you on big knots = overkill. I like small badger knots in small handles. When I see the shelves of overkill knots in massive handles I am truly baffled as to why.
My only other is straight razors. It’s taken me so long to get DE shaving down and done right, I can’t even imagine doing this with a straight which to me = way too complicated.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a butterscotch brush handle. Do you mean orange?
I agree about “Dopp kit”. I never heard that phrase before until recently. Is it a common term in America? Where does the word come from?

Yeah, this maddens me too. It is as though they think hair grows in width rather than length. If anything I feel like longer stubble cuts more easily. But anyway, if I ever see somebody say that I stop listening or reading right there.Here's one. "I like my [big, heavy grind] straight razor because it plows through x days of growth with ease."

Wow! You must get really sore kidneys around here!Well, this thread isn’t supposed to be about language and words, so let’s get it back to shaving. For me these always feel like a stab in my kidney:
- “3 pass shave”
- “I have tough whiskers” (generally followed by “and sensitive skin”)
- “my beard requires an aggressive razor”
- “My whiskers are thick like copper wire”
- “I like some blade feel”
- “my shave was great I just got a few nicks here and there”
- “let the weight of the razor do the work”
“3- band Badger brushes are floppy”
- the term “backbone” in itself when referring to shaving brushes
- “I get 250 shaves out of a Williams’ puck”
I also agree with the OP on the butterscotch. Come on folks that’s just orange
I could go on and on but some gents would get unhappy
What language would be acceptable to you to describe a routine where one lathers the face three times and then removes it with a razor, or if one likes a razor design where the sensation of the razor edge is experienced beyond the safety bar? I didn't realize the bar was so high here? All in fun.

I think my own peeve is the term “BBS”. It doesn’t mean anything, and it sounds like insipid insider jargon to me. I always assume when someone says “BBS” they really mean “please like me”.
I know I’ve just insulted every one of you. Sorry for that.

I am unequivocally against whining. My sincere apologies to nearly everyone on this post. 
Amazingly enough (remember, I'm dyslexic) I just realized YESTERDAY that the last two letters in "BBS" is BS!
Actually, no.
Here in Canada we have fuel economy ratings in L/100 km and in mpg. The thing is, though, that Canadian cars ALL get at least 20 per cent farther on a gallon of gas than American cars, even though in most cases it's the same car. Wazzupwiddat?
We still use Imperial gallons to calculate mpg. Imperial gallons are 20 per cent larger than "wine gallons" or what has politicized as the "U.S. Gallon." They're 160 fluid ounces instead of 128 -- it's still four Imperial quarts, but in wine quarts an Imperial gallon is five quarts.
So really, YMMV.
O.H.
Dang it, if Trudeau will have me, I'm movin' to Kanadia!Actually, no.

I'm doing it for the 2 qt. Ice Cream containers! We are just so shtoopid in the US. We even turn down youse guyses Oil, and we'd probably get the better end of the deal if you measure everything like that!

It’s probably because you guys don’t drive like idiots, which is a very common thing with American drivers.
Thank you. I resemble that remark!
Y'all must know by now that @KeenDogg keeps me on a short leash, lol, his kids musta let him sleep in....
Anyway, I need to come up with werds for a "BS" shave so I can start a thread that'll turn into a Brotherhood or a Club of "BS Shavers!"
Oh my, I've done it again. Just cracked myself up!
Honestly, brane bleeds can be fun! I was NEVER this much fun inside my own head 10 years ago! Aging is a blast, if someone else would tie my shoes!
I too hate big brush knots. Might as well use a paint brush.
Something stirs my inner adolescent every time I hear the word "member." And it only gets worse with time. I was past saving when it became an unfortunately named apparel line, at least, as I remember.
My sickness runs deep. I collect verbal pauses and tautologies.
Don't get me started on don't get me started.
At least I find confirmation in the truth of the contrapositive of "it is what is," namely, it isn't what it isn't.
I am annoyed.
