    Thanks, Jeff!

    Remember folks, this thread is about shaving, not politics.

    This site is not very good with links! Yes, all that time and he chose that razor. What a buzzkill!

    YIKES! I was really hoping to see him whipping up some nice lather in a scuttle or something with an expensive brush.

    Instead............



    And I think he nicked his nose? :rofl

    Bummer on the razor but I thought the beard looked good.

    Haha he had some good beard there. He was gardening when he found out and just walked inside and cut it all off... Apparently im not sure how it actually happened.

    We should find out how to contact him and have our nearest TSD member deliver him a box of REAL shaving goodies. I'll donate a razor. :)

    Let's do it.

    I'm in. I'll throw in a horsehair shaving brush and some Arko.

    I'd donate a whole starter kit with good stuff.
    That first shave should have been with an 8/8 Wedge.

    I'll throw in a blade sampler too. Maybe TSD Mods can get in contact, and we can get this dude some real shaving equipment. His razor was pathetic. Maybe Some free press for TSD. I Love this site,.

    Question for the straight users.

    Well, he probably couldn't find his own shaving stuff after 10 years, so had to borrow his wife's disposables. I'm not donating anything. He's been saving on shaving expenses for a long time, and should be able to afford the best by now.:D

    The longest I ever experimented with growing a beard, lasted 3 or 4 weeks, maybe 25-30 years ago. I was in the Navy, but it was during a time period when they allowed neatly trimmed beards. The itching drove me nuts, and it wasn't looking that good anyway.

    If your beard had gotten as long as his, I assume that you'd trim off the longer parts with scissors before starting on the actual shaving. Theoretically, though, could you hack through the longer growth with a straight, or would that be bad for the razor?

    That is freakin funny... :rofl:rofl That just goes to show the poor state of shaving these days. His first shave in 10 years and he just goes for the nearest razor - damned if it's pink or not.

    I can't believe it either. I'll throw in a pack of Voskhods and a pack of Sharks. That would be some good light hearted PRESS for the site!

    Imagine, almost 10 years of Bin Laden vexing this man. As soon as he hears the news he has to get that beard off immediately. The poor guy only has a pink cartridge available. A man had to do what a man had to do!

    However, he can now get on board the wet shaving express!

    I'm way more impressed with his wife's level of tolerance. :D

    had to laugh when i saw him using what looked to be a plastic razor. after 10 years you'd think he'd want to enjoy it. i do give him credit having put together a story using bin laden as an excuse to not shave. what people won't do for attention!
