Have you ever?

[Alfredo Becerra]

Shaved with a rusty machete?

It is awesome, BBS in no time!

I was hessitant at first but the people at AOS and other fancy places make one model so since the rusty machetes have their seal of approval I thought it would be awesome. Had to have it shipped from England, the sharpening stone had to be shipped from the wilds of Borneo and the honing paste, made with the scrotums of endangered whales, came from Japan. All in all I paid $3,000 for the darn kit.

Try it, if it's worth it of the fancy places it's good enough for you

I think I got you beat. Try a shell from the beach and the oh so slick sea foam.

Well, I thought about it, but I don't think that will work. They are not expensive and they are not endorsed by the fancy shaving gear association (FSGA)

If it had the seal of approval of the 3 T's or someone of equal worth I might consider it.

 

[SpyvSpy]

so is this a rant about how expensive some shave gear is?

It's a rant against the notion that some products are better than others — that having discriminating taste is, er, discriminatory.

No guys, not at all. Don't take it so seriously, relax! the super secret world of shaving doesn't have to be so serious, smile once in a while.

After I posted my original comment I realized I forgot to mention something important, and I think that's why you think it's a rant. Let me post it now:

Everything is super important in the super serious world of shaving. Nothing, absolutely nothing is objective, everything is subjective and, of course, how can I forget? YMMV.

Sorry if I forgot to mention something.

The rusty machete and the whale scrotum paste work well for me, it might not be for you. Don't attack me just because you have shave den envy and all that jazz.

Well if it works for you go with it.

mmmmmm whale scrotum.

Tried it. Hated it. Recycled beer cans work better. YMMV

Now that's got to be a nice shave.

My apologies for misunderstanding your intent.

For what it's worth, I shave by holding my cat's jaws open and delicately cut the whiskers that way. She doesn't mind because I use the moisturizing properties of cat food as a shaving cream.

ahh.. to shave with an obsidian rock blade... sharpest instrument in existence!

You haven't tried a surgeons scalpel yet?! you have no idea what your missing.

Obsidian rock blades are sharper than Surgeon scapels

Alfredo, I love your posts, and get the humor, and also the venom it contains. After all, humor is certain part commentary, right?

Forget whale scrotum, I much prefer moisturizers derived from baby foreskin. (It exists. No I don't use it!)

Seriously, thank you.
