I was about the same age when I tried a straight razor. Going against the grain, I achieved an overall red face, but I didn't lose any blood to speak of.

Yeah your initial story makes it sound like you were 13 and are currently 23Hang on...just to confirm I was in my late 40s...![]()
You are not familiar with the term, "She Who Must Be Obeyed"?Yeah your initial story makes it sound like you were 13 and are currently 23My favorite part was when you said ... "I was ordered to shave." LoL
I like the idea of using one of these old straight razors or razor jacks... but in no way will I ever allow myself to use something like that to shave my own faceIf I am ever feeling nostalgic and the opportunity is there, I might pay for a shave and feel like Matt Dillon for a half hour. The Marshal Matt Dillon... not the guy with the big teeth that was in "There's Something About Mary."
I learned something new today since I had to Google "styptic pen"You are not familiar with the term, "She Who Must Be Obeyed"?
I grew up with "safety razors" and needed enough styptic pen from the usage to satisfy any curiosity about straight razors.
