That is just unacceptable, Life getting in the way of our shave time!!!!! blasphemy, LOL Good that you opted for a DE rather than rush and invite blood loss.
You are right sir! One of the many reasons that I decided to try shaving with a straight is to force myself to slow at least a small portion of my life down and enjoy some "me" time.
Another reason were to try to provide other mental and physical challenges to aid my aging brain in keeping some of its plasticity.
There is also certainly a nostalgic component. My avatar picture is of my great grandfather whom I never got to meet. The photo is from around 1910, and he would soon join the German army in WW1 as a member of the calvary. He moved to the States for a very brief time after the war but didn't like Arkansas very much and soon returned to his second home in Buenos Aires; never to return to the USA.
Maybe I should start a post asking others their motivations?
Have a safe trip. Check a bag, and you can shave like
you want to.
Very true, but sometimes my travel needs to be very efficient, and checking a bag is a hassle. Most of my trips are just 1-2 days, so I can live with a so-so shave. Makes me pine for my Straights!
Here's to hopeless shaving snobbery!
