Your best shave razor?

No one has ever accused these blokes of being polite. Intelligible, sometimes, when they're not waxing poetic about their favourite fragrance house, and sniffing their wrists. I'd be careful if I were you, there are Geordies among them.

Well you are right of course about most members being on the sissie boy side of things, and you're describing the 'Scarlet Pimpernel' affectation they seem to have. Some of em even say something like "Strike me down!" after huffing some snuff. Only that one side of the character though. Very brave of you to bring that up, although it's pretty much common knowledge.

Good post I thought,

Oh wait.....is that what you were talking about? If that wasn't it then never mind.

Really Vinnie? You seem pretty serious here, but really?

Envision many other forum members nodding their heads in agreement with my previous sentence. Ok, maybe not many at all, if any.

It's crazy/zany/wacky talk from you.

I hope this silly post doesn't intrude on your inner sense of reality,

I don't particularly go for the nostalgia of vintage razors and prefer well-executed, modern razors with clean lines that are efficient and made of materials that are easy to maintain. The ones that tick all the boxes for me are Above The Tie razors and a Mongoose that I've only just started putting through its paces. I have a feeling I would like a Wolfman too, but I haven't had the opportunity to try one so far.
 
I know I'm about to whack the hornet's nest, but I really didn't find that the ATT really were that much better at cutting stubble than my Merkurs. The R2 wasn't as aggressive as my R41, the S1 was no smoother than the 39c, the 38c is nicely mid-aggressive and closed comb, and the Progressive can be anything you want it to be. Is it the design of the old-school razors that capture the attention? I wasn't overly impressed by the handle styles of the genre.

Not to disagree with your lofty thoughts, but this ain't considered doing any poking of anyone. This is just a good natured nudge is all.

Now when it comes to certain topics I can tell you this bunch turns feral....the whole lot of em!!! Religion and politics, now that's some serious poking. Maybe sports sometimes too.

Never seen anything like the transformation that comes over em all. It's like a mob with rabies or something. Oh, and the language is pretty intense, and mostly used correctly in context. They swear so much it's like watching Yankers typing at each other instead of the usually over polite Limey façade/disguise.

Yeah, this place is a powder keg always on the edge of blowin itself up real good.
