They’ll use wussy devices for shaving…
The real clinker is the electric razor. A couple of years ago it was one that oozed KY jelly on your face. Then it was one that you took in the shower. Or that Santa could ride down an undulating snow-covered hillside on because it had articulated heads. This year it’s a gizmo that I looked up and sells for a cool $199.95 (or $200 Canadian).
Face it, no man has ever bought himself an electric razor. No manly man has ever bought a manual razor that needs a battery to vibrate the blades. No serious man has ever bought a razor with more than two blades. And, no honest man has ever had prioritized shaving creams with our without emollients (aren’t those like perqs or bonuses?)
Hot water is nice, but isn’t absolutely essential either.

Real men don’t shave at all. They pull the hairs out with rusty pliers, one by one.
My razor has three blades; it works better than those with two AND those with four. Go figure. I’d love to find an old-fashioned single-edged like my father used to use, though, just to give it a try. Anyone know a source?

Me, I got one of these about a year ago and couldn’t be happier.
Good old double edge razor… makes me take my time and enjoy it. But most importantly is getting the badger hair brush and soap puck… pick up some pre-shave oil too for a shaving experience.
