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 :001_tongu

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.

:lol: 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. :001_smile

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.

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 (http://thebeautybrains.com/2007/04/20/is-foreskin-good-for-your-face/). No I don't use it!)

Well, for some reason the Brits can shave better than anyone else. So, Unless that Iguana foreskin is made in England, I don't want to try it.

rusty machete or any form of sea shell or clam and you can enjoy that experience all on your onesies. I'm willing to accept the head start of using things that were actually purpose built for the job.

A rusty machete is just fine, as long as you don't use that horrible canned shaving gel.
My dermatologist said so.

Ahh. Perhaps you should try some spotted dick. :thumbup1:

I used to shave with a ball peen hammer, you just bang those whiskers in and chew'em off from the inside. Gargle with a shot of straight whiskey and if your really tough swallow it . . . whiskers and all :w00t:

Rusty machettes and whale scrotum extract are fine if your in a hurry or if you don't want to come across as pretentious. A real example of a luxurious shave can only be accomplished with an original bayonette from the Civil War, confederate side only. It must, and I stress this point, must have been used as a meat skewer in a brazillian steakhouse for at least six months, a year would be better, obviously. The preferred lather would of course come from the placental fluid from a virgin yak, and applied with the tail of an extremely excited live meerkat. You can find most of this stuff on the 'bay, but I prefer to purchase from a reputable dealer. YMMV

Just a heads up - frequently Meerkats rent themselves out as shave brushes.
Check them out on e-bay.
Here's one taking a pic for his ad.

I don't even want to ask how a virgin yak has placental fluid. :001_tongu
