    The slick of soap,
    To cover the stubble,

    The stress of the day,
    Released by the bubbles,

    Relax and de-stress,
    Cut throat about pressed,

    The end of my troubles,
    Recharged for tomorrow...

    Eastwood, Martin, Douglas, Wayne,
    I see a western Cut-throat theme,

    With, across and against the grain,
    I see a perfect shave routine,

    Razor, brush, soap and cream,
    Thing that keep my face prestine

    Hone, strop, paper and paste,
    Ensures the cut throat ain't replaced

    Here lies the body of Peter Lee. Died at the of age of a hundred and three. For 33 years he had tri-blade stupidity; switched to DE like the people in the ShaveDen vicinity

    I stole this and adapted from Jaws :) :

    Here lies the body of Mary Lee. Died at the of age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity

    Shave Den is the place to be,

    Total dedication it's clear to see,

    Razors discussed, shown and scored,

    A place to look at what we horde,

    I like to look and see what's new,

    Guess you all do because I do too,

    Have to admit I have a habit,

    To the forums I'm an addict.


    Razors, soap, anythings discussed,

    A lot of topics we're not fussed,

    Zoom along the topics and you'll see,

    Open discussions for you and me,

    Remember to like whatever you see.


    Hopefully you will all see what I have done there... If not, take the first letter of each line :)

    Right. I need to stop doing this or else I'm going to need to be sectioned for too much dedication to shaving :)

    Neck cut,
    Cheek cut,
    Chin cut,
    Ear cut,
    Nose cut,
    Lip cut,
    Finger cut,
    Hand cut,
    Arm cut.

    These are all the cuts I had to go through before no cuts with my straight razor... :)

    There's a learning curve for sure.
    It can be discouraging to see a piece of your earlobe laying in the sink...
    I'm glad it's going well for you now. :)

    wristwatchb wristwatch "danger" b

    Baby smooth face
    Smellin' so fine
    Using shave tools
    Costing $1999


    Went to the den
    Razors all gone
    Bride had a yard sale
    No more Don Juan


    Up early for work
    Too groggy to shave
    Still grabbed my cut throat
    Had a red tidal wave


    65 creams
    42 soaps
    Still buying more
    Guess there's no hope


    Smell like a man
    Not like a girl
    Oh, what to use?
    Give Clubman a whirl!


    Looked out back
    Saw a skunk runnin' round
    Dispatched the little varmint
    And still got drowned


    Rough Saturday night
    Now the Bride says no smooch
    I mistook the Veg
    For a bottle of hooch


    PIF time is here
    "I'm in! Yes, I'm in!"
    Won 100 Derby's
    Notify my next of kin

    There was a fine fella from Devon
    Who recently found shaving heaven.
    He was hooked from the start
    Of this wonderful art
    And never grew hair on his chin'again.

    With the distinctive sound,
    Of a hollow ground,
    The shine of the blade of steel,

    With the light so low,
    As the barber struck full flow,
    Hear the signing blade so noticeably clear,

    The look upon the face,
    With the unsuspecting pace,
    A knife to the neck in full swing

    With the cut and the scrape,
    Blood sprayed all over the place
    An agreement of treachery was sealed

    Another victim has gone,
    Another deed is done,
    By the butcher of St. Paul's, London

    Haha. Superb.

    Well I'll look after the horrible green rolling hills and views that go unbroken for as far as the eyes can see, and you look after the beautiful concrete tower blocs and high rise horizons.
