If size is your thing, there’s always this:
Good thing I don't have my officer's sabre anymore, I might have been tempted!
And of course...

The knife would have probably worked ok. If you read the reviews on Amazon for the "Gillette Fusion Power Men's Razor Blades - 8 Refills" - some 45k ratings and top reviews are only rants and that pinch of how expensive and short lived those blades are even with alternate day shaves. Modern men are really missing out on a truly fantastic ritual by spending too much and getting bad shaves!

Alright, all you SR “maniacs” out there (and I say that with all due respect ), out of the literally THOUSANDS of them, do you have any personal FAVORITE YouTube clips on how to use a SR? (asking for a “friend,” of course! )
Thx, gents!
That is quite satisfying to watch! Would give it a go to grow a beard to that length and then shave it off… if not for that I really do enjoy shaving too much !Another favorite of mine -- this is the 1 minute shave:
That must be one SHARP blade!Another favorite of mine -- this is the 1 minute shave:
Monster technique, in my opinion.
I don't know if I'm as worried about an "instant sex change" as much as I am an "instant tummy tuck"One major one for me - I sometimes like to shave in the NUDE. I know that even with a safety (DE) razor, I still face the risk of a substantial nick/cut should it slip from my hand.
But, with a STRAIGHT razor, I just keep imagining that with just ONE potential slip-up, it's an instant “sex change” down there (in the LONG history of straight razor shaving, it MUST have already happened to someone, no? ).
It goes way beyond the “cool” factor. It is as effective as any DE, more comfortable and safer. There is some maintenance to take care of but it doesn’t take up much time after the initial honing. As far as shaving nude goes, there is obvious danger in that. The first clip was bad enough and the second would be a disaster. Just pull on a pair of boxer shorts and you will hang just fine.After watching my fair share of shaving videos on-line, I still have to ask, WHY would anyone use a STRAIGHT razor in this day and age?
I’ll admit, it does look COOL, but damn, as someone who’s a DE user, I also see the downsides.

Besides, you gotta get a strop, a strop handle, a sharpening stone, blade oil, etc., plus, there’s a long learning curve if you’re gonna get any good at wielding that thing.
Just trying to understand what the appeal is, from the other side, RESPECTFULLY.
