That’s funny!

I wish I had that razor.

And (don’t take this wrong) vain is exactly what I’m doing it for.

I’m going to shave anyway. I just want to make it as luxurious and as “cool” as I can.

The fact that I’m shaving the way my ancestors did, with a [potentially] dangerous implement, taking my time and enjoying a close shave...is exactly what I’m after.

I also use Hoyt’s cologne. Initially made circa the civil war. It’s what the cowboys used to get when they’d come in for their shave after being out.

There’s newer stuff, and I own some.

But there’s just something about doing it the old way that gives me great pleasure and joy.

This will make you feel cool.

However it will require the same effort to keep this thingy sharp as it would for a $50 straight razor.
