tip #1. do not go sideways

I don't have any idea, I don't need to shave my face, but like gallois said, don't go sideways!

Is there a reason why you are shying away from convention?

:lol1::lol:

Goto turkey or watch this chap

I couldn't think of anything worse! Why?

go to a barbers!!

I would end up cutting my throat :( did try it years ago the shave not cutting the throat:)

I'd also be interested in giving this a try.

You must be bonkers.
Buy a Merkur, next best thing but alot safer.....:thumb:

And we will end up with scooby net users all dead :(

I`d rather blowtorch the hairs off my face, its much safer than what your thinking of doing.

Oi leave Dirk benedict out of this ;)

cut-throat shaving is like gun-scratching.

Actually, its something I would like to try as well :D Yes, I am a bit of an eccentric, hell I still write with a fountain pen, that doesnt take ink cartridges.

Well for starters you need to find an old train with carriages so you can nick a couple of leather window pulls (strops). Traditionally used for sharpening the razor.......

If you want a close shave then some foam and a modern razor will give as good, or better, cut without blood all over the shop.

My father used one of those and he had it down to a fine art-never ever cut himself!

I will stick to the safety razor, I know my limitations!

Good luck to you, but sod that!

try on the missus cat first lol. i know what u mean it the best shave when u go the barbers and they do it

Watched my pal get a cut throat shave at a barbers in Thailand, looked a bit painful and sore afterwards untill the barber put a handfull of lemon scented industrial bleach they claimed was after shave on his face. Once that was slapped on with a real slap it looked like pure agony. My pal who is Turkish had bright red skin for about 3 days.

Had one in Turkey. its an experience alright but well worth it

I nearly fainted just watching that clip, makes me feel queasy just thinking about it. :oops:

Using an Azor here, works great. :thumb:

one of them given by a hot girl that would be very nice!!
