I can see where some would be impressed with Ledger's performance but I didn't care much for it and wasn't much impressed by the movie overall. Good call on not letting your son see it. I applaud any parent who stands up to society in its slide for their younguns' sake. Folks raising their kids like...

That scraping sound is somewhat a function of blade weight/thickness as well. A heavy 7/8 Friodur is nearly silent whereas my lighter narrow Inox frightens birds from the bathroom windowsill. I think the skin takes a bit to become conditioned to your technique as well. I know that after a winter's b...

...Add shaving to that and REALLY impress us Well now it's funny you should mention that.....Some here may well remember me taking a straight to the horses lathered chin whiskers (don't know if I still have that pict)....As far as me shaving with my straight while riding, he is that smooth.

On the several times a year that I stop by WalMart I make a habit of entering and checking out through the back door via automotive. I'm not anti-WalMart, just anti-hassle and anti-junk. I did make a scene once when a security guard after watching me check out, eye contact and all, immediately in fr...

Insuficient moisture perhaps? Get it re-honed by that barber and let him give you a shave if possible. It's not at all like honing a knife. MUCH lighter touch or it will be made more dull or even damaged. Patience is the most important ingredient in the learning process with the use and maintenance ...

No straight shave until the weekend. That is a great way to proceed. You'll get better results when you're not pressed. That shortens the learning curve considerably. A strop that is wide enough and requires less manipulation of the straight works easier for me than a narrow one that does not allow...

However, I disagree with your second statement above. Rude, self-absorbed people do not live everywhere in the US the way they are concentrated in the New York area. Good enough....The context of my post was clear in that I was referring to a national comparison. I never said anything about New Yor...
