    So just read a statement that DE's do not take much skill really. That thought explains a lot.

    I know...I went to see the Rev this weekend. He's a Setzer-level talent on a hollow body, a little more surf rock though. Gretsch makes a signature Jim Heath model. "The Reverend Horton Heat" is a band, Jim Heath is the leader. Here's some guitar porn:

    That's a great question, Neal. The folding Feather AC may indeed be easier to use. I like the SRX so much that I'm considering PIFing my pain stick and a pack of Feather blades. I may try to cook up something where folks can make a donation to the forum to get in on the PIF.

    No need for training wheels. You have used the OCMM. I would say a 1912 style. I have a few I could loan out.

    That would not be a pif. If you do pif it I will get in. I have only used Straights and shavettes.

    "Tough guy" is a better image than "incompetent with open blades." It's all about presentation.

    It's about how you explain it. It's pretty cool if you can get trekking through the jungle in the story.

    They don't take a ton of skill, but poor technique will result in a bad shave experience. Hence DE RAD, people don't believe the 3 Ts .....

    Maybe I should trade technique for skill in my rants then. Good thought thanks.
