Wrong on so many levels

Nothing wrong with that one, IMO. He goes lightning-fast, with little on-camera prep... but it's more than obvious he's VERY skilled at shaving with a straight razor.
This one's been discussed before, and the subject even posted a couple times. The bleeder at the end, he claims, is from a blemish that he shaved over.
To me, it's an impressive display.

wow he's fast - thats gotta hurt!! lol
Never thought of shaving while the whole family watches 
What he did may not be "B&B Textbook Style", but it looks like the ends justified the means.

Okay, he's showing off a bit. Going too fast for conditions. I can almost hear him say "Hold my beer while I take this curve.".
I respect anyone who can shave their chin so quickly with a goatee on it already.

Now that is a guy with supreme confidence in his shaving. I think it is a pretty impressive display. Probably didn't result in the closest shave in the world but if I had his hands I would probably get to work earlier.

That's what bothers me- he knows how to hold a razor, is utterly fearless, and employs some very advanced strokes at breakneck speed. He also looks as if he just robbed a bank and is in the process of disguising himself.
I particularly loved the stropping- a whopping seven strokes. Still, he would have been unable to perform a shave like that without severely butchering himself without a ton of experience under his belt.
It gave me the creeps.

Agreed that this is probably the polar opposite of what a straight razor newbie should learn from, but otherwise it's quite a unique video!

No question. That one was new to me.
I never thought of using an egg cup for a shave bowl.

By the way, Jason, you've had the Ric Flair avatar a few years now. He's said "wooo!" over fifty million times on this site.
Nothing wrong with the way he's shaving ... yeah, he goes fast, but that's because he's showing off. Its the end result that counts.
My vote for a really bad straight-shaver is a guy with a thick British accent, who stops after every stroke to take a swig of liquor, wash it down with some beer. He goes through a whole pint of liquor in about 10 minutes ... the end result is a bloody mess, but at least he looks like he's having fun.
I went looking for a link on YouTube, but I couldn't find it ... anyone know the video I'm talking about?

I know.
It's just such an awesome display of ... awesomeness... that I don't want to change it. Ever.
Animated .gifs as avatars is a rare accomplishment around here!
In all its glory. (And by glory I mean tool-ishness)

Don't change it! You'll never be able to get it back!
The rasiermesser shaves in 1/3rd of the time, does not need Bell's whiskey, and is listening to his kids, whilst shaving, not Johnny Rotten.
Yeah, that's the bloke.
Did you notice that this guy only lathers ONCE, but does several passes over dry skin? No wonder he winds up with so much blood on his face.
And take a close look at the tatoo on the inside of his left forearm, at about 5:50 ... it looks like a tat of one of the hideous Merkur razors with the bulbous handle, and maybe a TracII cartridge on the head.
