I'm getting sick of the disposable razors, one was rusted and I've been using the other one for too long... I didn't even fully shave this time around because it was taking so long...

I've wanted a nice single bladed razor for a while now, the kind you see in movies..., any idea where to find one of these or if they are even legal in the US?

Something like this...


Is it any better than a normal razer?

A straight edge razor is what you're looking for, try one of those fancy knife stores they got in the malls.

I'd just google it, but damn those things look dangerous as hell. No way I would use one without some serious practice on somebody besides me.

You can re-sharpen a razor blade if you shave aluminium foil. You can sharpen scissors by cutting aluminium foil too.

I learnt that playing Hotel Dusk. Last chapter.

Well I'm not old enough to shave yet, but the idea of scraping it against aluminum sounds neat.

Meh I stick with disposable razors but I hardly shave as I really let my barber do the work. Still you could jsut ask your barber where he/she gets em from cause my barber has a couple of those lying around.

You wouldn't want to use one of those if you've seen previews of Johnny Depps new movie where he murders people with that thing.

You have to actually know how to use one of those things or you can get seriously hurt. Different parts of the face need different techniques, or so I've heard. Plus the sharpening is pretty in-depth.

Jeff Gerstmann once did a barrel roll.

This event is known as the big bang.

You should check out these straight razors, they're what you are looking for. Shaving with a knife may sound cool but your skin will bleed. www.classicshaving.com, they have everything you need to get started.

Burning your beard off works better than shaving as its much faster.

One time, Jeff Gestmann slapped Kane and Lynch in the face, and nearly escaped with his job. His balls grew two sizes that day.

Just invest in a nice fusion razor or something with like 3-4 blades. Disposables suck bad. It will probably take you a while to learn how to shave with a straight edge razor but they are ok for trimming up sideburns and stuff and thats about it. They are dangerous too but I have one I got at an army store.
