President Obama Shave

[curtis909]

What do you think President Obama uses to shave.

[blantyre]

He rotates a Senator a Diplomat and an Aristocrat.

[dreadpirate]

Now this sounds like flame bait. I have a few things I could suggest - but I think I will leave well enough alone.

[Stubblefield]

He rotates a Senator a Diplomat and an Aristocrat.:lol::lol::lol:

[Houndawg]

Does it matter?

[curtis909]

Now that was clever well done and why didn't i think of that...

[cfriend]

Does it matter?

In before flame'n'lock.

[Stubblefield]

Does it matter? I didn't think . . .<snip>Blatantly Offensive.

[kwk285]

I would guess the White House Barber.:biggrin:

[Nick D.E.vious]

Bbs every time. :thumbup1:

[richmondesi]

Does it matter?

That was totally disrespectful and uncalled for. I expect better from B&Bers

[Austin]

Gents, stay on topic or your access to the Barber shop will be removed.

[Nick D.E.vious]

I hope you guys have a sense of humor...

[Brodirt]

Bbs every time. :thumbup1:

Well done!

On topic though I would expect electric, or by the staff barber.

[JimBow]

What about a New Improved, Futur, and a Vision??

[Nick D.E.vious]

I'm not sure what he uses, perhaps a two bladed pivot head model(with an aloe strip). I personally think he's a wet shaver.

[Dustinl]

Well done!

I would agree on the electric. I doubt he has time for a wet-shave.

I agree. However, I doubt that he does the traditional brush and soap thing. I bet he would be eternally grateful to whoever turns him onto the ritual though. However, I don't think our tax dollars could afford the ensuing ADs :lol:

[IronJohn]

In all seriousness he seems like an electric razor kind of guy. A Braun of some sort. Just the impression I get.

[curtis909]

Hey guys i did not want to start a political war here. Since i started wet shaving i seem look at some one and wonder what they are shaving with. I had just seen Obama on the news and that is all i was asking. Man if I wanted to start a WAR i would have asked about religion ....:biggrin:

Sorry I asked to be honest. Chill guys please...

[Austin]

I would guess the White House Barber.:biggrin:

That would be my guess as well. I have seen a documentary where the Whtehouse barber said that President Clinton would come in on a regular basis for a trim and a shave.

You didn't do anything wrong. There was a totally inappropriate response that was edited while all of those replies came in. We're all good here.

[Obsessed]

I'd be shocked if the Secret Ser Service allowed a barber to shave the president, and if they did, I'm virtually sure they would not permit the use of a straight.

[Jatte]

I am President Obama :)

i use a mint gillette president of course,

"it comes with the house" :)

Just kidding

[richmondesi]

I'd be shocked if the Secret Ser Service allowed a barber to shave the president, and if they did, I'm virtually sure they would not permit the use of a straight.

I bet a president could get a straight shave. However, I bet they have quite the extensive background check and surveillance on the barber.:biggrin:

[Nick D.E.vious]

I agree. However, I doubt that he does the traditional brush and soap thing. I bet he would be eternally grateful to whoever turns him onto the ritual though. However, I don't think our tax dollars could afford the ensuing ADs :lol:I have to agree man. I know if most B&Bers had their way in the White House, there would be at least a whole wing dedicated as a shave den! :w00t:

[Brodirt]

I agree completely. I would bet dollars to donuts that a "good ole boy" like Bill Clinton knew well the pleasure of kicking back for the pleasure of a good barber's straight shave.

I am actually astounded that someone might think that the White House barber hasn't been vetted sufficiently to offer the Pres. a fine straight shave...how dumb are we? I may criticize the Pres., whoever he is, but I'm sure that the staff can be trusted not to kill him. How much easier would it be to do the job with a straight than with a hair scissor? Are we really a third world country that has to worry this much?

[Obsessed]

There was one in the Lincoln Bedroom, but then he grew the beard . . .

Speculation/idle chatter from about a month ago regarding Obama and presidential facial hair.

[hurricane]

Could he possibly be having an electric shave by the white house barber?

[JBLAZE725]

I agree. However, I doubt that he does the traditional brush and soap thing. I bet he would be eternally grateful to whoever turns him onto the ritual though. However, I don't think our tax dollars could afford the ensuing ADs :lol:

Good point.

[richmondesi]

I've emailed the President's office to see if they will settle this for us once and for all :rolleyes:

I'm not holding my breath :lol:

[Sluggo]

I dont care, but I would lobby for a DE Bail Out...granted it would be about 20 years too late

[1OldGI]

Bbs every time. :thumbup1:

Wow! Unbelievable, someone actually beat me to the smart ass comment that will get this thread shut down. BRAVO, Well played good Sir.:biggrin:

[TorzJohnson]

The first time this topic came up, I jokingly said that people were so crazy about Obama they'd want to know what he ate for lunch. That was before the in-depth news coverage of he and Joe Biden having lunch at Ray's Hell Burger. :biggrin:

[nikkuchan]

I always had images of the president sitting in a chair with his suit on and a towel over his face, talking on the phone or reviewing the day’s schedule with a secretary, a barber a couple feet away, stropping his blade. The president excuses himself from business for 10 minutes and the towel comes off. The barber, with a perfectly lathered brush and impeccably sharpened razor goes to work and in 10 minutes gives the president the smoothest face in the free world.

I don’t know, but that image seems to fit. The job demands some class after all.

[The Nid Hog]

I was planning to stop by his old barber shop the last time I was in Chicago--I used to live in the same neighborhood and I thought that I'd drop in and get an old school trim. The barbers there have all kinds of stuff from the Pinaud family lined up in front of the mirror, and I wanted to see if the President liked to get a little Lilac Veg splashed on after a haircut. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get over there. I did hear that his barber from Hyde Park was going to continue to take care of him in DC, but I haven't kept up with that story.

Here's a link to the shop's webpage:

If you decide to go by for a cut, you should plan to go to Valois ("See your food") for a great cafeteria meal. Make a day out of it and check out the Checkerboard for some good Chicago blues.

They look to be masters of the shavette cut. While not for me, some impressive artistry on display there.

This is why dictators & tyrants grow a beard.

[arcman]

As to Obama's barber
Barack Obama's longtime barber is hoping to follow his most-famous client to the White House. Zariff, who has been cutting the President-elect's hair for nearly 15 years at the Hyde Park Hair Salon, told CBS 2 that the two talked about it shortly after Obama launched his campaign.

"I said, 'I'm going with you' [if you win]," to which Zariff said Obama replied, "Absolutely. I'm not changing barbers, man."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/12/will-obamas-barber-follow_n_143422.html


No word on what he actually shaves with, I would assume it's a modern cartridge but who knows.

[norman931]

This is why dictators & tyrants grow a beard.

Actually, the word I got was that Fidel Castro grew a beard because he could no longer buy Gillette Double Edge blades!

[mretzloff]

He probably uses a Gillette Fusion razor and Gillette Fusion shaving foam. I doubt he, or anyone like him, has the time to shave for 20 minutes.

[mretzloff]

Bbs every time. :thumbup1:

Haha, very clever :wink:

[Pureslab]

President Obama always seems to have pretty clear skin , even around his neckline. I'm thinking the help of a skilled dermatologist may be involved a bit,,,,,

[1OldGI]

He probably has electrolysis. Somewhere along the line, American politicians after about Taft quit even being real enough to even wear a damn moustache. I guess it's supposed to give them an appearance of honesty and approachability. They're all a bunch of game show host, pimp, gangsters! He probably sits down to pee as well. NOTE: Not a partisan jab, just an observation on politics in general.

[goodsamaritan]

We now live in an era where politicians want to be rockstars, and rockstars want to be politicians. So far as I can tell, only one of those professions requires any talent or competence. (Hint: it isn't the politician)

Someone may as well wonder what brand of toilet paper the man uses?

[curtis909]

I've emailed the President's office to see if they will settle this for us once and for all :rolleyes:

I'm not holding my breath :lol:

+1 on the holding your breath... But then again who knows maybe they will let us know since what else do they really do....:biggrin:

[SRock]

I'm not sure what he uses, perhaps a two bladed pivot head model(with an aloe strip). I personally think he's a wet shaver.

I personally doubt it. I see him with a Fusion and a can of higher end shave goop. Definitely no DE or Str8's unless it is with a professional barber.

[bonusmarple]

Unfortunately, probably what 90&#37; of men use, a cartridge "razor" ala Gillette. Perhaps we should PIF him a newbie kit?

Oh great thats all we need to do is send sharp objects to the White House and see them scanning B&B to see who's idea it was. I wont rat you out Bonusmarple. :scared::biggrin:

Neither will I.





Honestly Mr. Secret Service man it was Bonusmarple.......honestly.

[humber burns]

I'm leaning towards a professional shave. He's always far to clean shaven for a electric guy (unless he caries one with him everywhere he goes) and I've rarely if ever seen a 5 o'clock shadow. Then again his complexion is leaning more towards the darker side and he doesn't look to me to have a heavy growth pattern.

[Dharion]

Our chancellor doesn't need to shave. :001_tt2:

I'd bet dollars to donuts that this is actually the case. I'd guess he's got electric razors ready to go in his limo, in AF1, Marine 1, various places in the White House, etc. When time is critical and you're making dozens of appearances over the course of a day, you don't have a lot of opportunity to lather up and the odds are good you just have to squeeze in a "touch-up" whenever you need to.

[Obsessed]

Apparently the last major-party political candidate with facial hair was Thomas E. Dewey in 1948.

[fighting69]

The more interesting question is how many times a President shaves per day.
The over/under would probably be set at three. Presidential stubble became a major no no after the Nixon/Kennedy debates. Reagan and W. Bush were always much more well groomed when they were splitting wood or clearing brush than I ever was when doing "farm work." Compare the iconic photo of Reagan with his cowboy hat tilted up to the Marlboro Man. Gore was apparently so tired of shaving that he grew a ridiculous beard when he was on hiatus.

As to the original question, obviously Obama was using a Senator and now uses a President. He gave the Diplomat to Hillary and a Tuckaway to Biden while stashing him away from the media in an undisclosed location. The Aristocrat Jr. that was in the White House returned to Texas via Kennebunkport.

[rm71]

He rotates a Senator a Diplomat and an Aristocrat.

Very clever:smile:

[SRock]

I don't know. They won't even allow barbers who service us military types to use straight razors for anything (years ago they were allowed to use them to clean up the neck line). Some places barbers aren't even allowed to use scissors and our only option is a clipper cut. Keep in mind these people must pass security screening prior to being hired as well. I'm thinking that if a barber can't get near a buck private with a pair of scissors theres no amount of screening that's allowing anyone near the neck of the President of the United States with a straight razor.


I agree completely. I would bet dollars to donuts that a "good ole boy" like Bill Clinton knew well the pleasure of kicking back for the pleasure of a good barber's straight shave.

See comments above. Maybe they do, who knows.

I needed a laugh today and this did the trick! Thanks :lol:

Great way to expand on earlier comments. Well played! :lol:
