    Autoclave? I say bleach, bleach, and then the fires of Mordor.

    Agreed about the steel.

    Me thinks the only solution is to master an edge that will give me the perfect 2 day shave (Sharpton 30K?) : ). That, or do a noon day shave in the men's room lol!!

    Not sure the "guys" would be ok with that lol?
    back off the last pass or so... this was my problem as well. It messes up my schedule everytime i go for super super closeness.

    Autoclave, kills everything-this is what is used to sterilize the operating room instruments between patients.

    So doc – I just have to ask. Now that you’ve found your new hobby, when you walk into surgery, do you critic the tech who “preps” the area for surgery now lol!

    I bounce back and forth. Straight when I want to relax and go through the ritual of stropping and have the time to make sure the blade gets oiled and back into humidity control storage. If I am rushed (even slightly) it is DE or SE razor time. I have to admit that lately it has been more DE/SE than straight for me but today I will remedy that as I plan on taking as much time as I need/want for today's shave...

    We use a betadine prep-that is very drying and "Sticky" would not work at all. Also I must say my straights are much, much sharper than the scalpels used in surgery. The scalpels can shave hair but with some tugging, and forget the HHT, they give a solid 0. If you look at the bevel with a loupe the scratch pattern is similar to a 1K stone.

    Seraphim are you interested in taking pics of a scalpel, I can send you one.

    But can it destroy the one ring to rule them all? No only Mordor can, hence Mordor > Autoclave

    Just because it's sharp, does not mean it's smooth.

    Swmbo enjoys having a nice clean play ground....

    I must say tho going for bbs is not advised... Razor bumps suck... Itchy...
    a nice walk in the woods helps me relax and relieves tension....

    the fact i'm dragging a shovel and a body should be irrelevant...
