Thread: Art of Manliness - Straight Razor Shaving Article

Looks like there's both good and bad information in this article. SRP and SRD is mentioned.

The Ultimate Straight Razor Shaving Guide | The Art of Manliness

just got done reading it out of my email it pretty good like you said some good and some bad info but I would recomend poeple to read it

What's the bad info in that article? I only skimmed through it quickly but it looked good to me. The honing section is perhaps a bit oversimplified, but it is a good starter IMHO.

Nice article. Yes, a bit simplified, but you can't expect perfection in 1500 to 2000 words. The vids on tying a tie were great!

Well there was this bit of misinformation:

The only cost you’ll have from here on out is an occasional tube of shaving cream.

And they certainly got the evaluation of sources on straight shaving right:

Straight Razor Place. This site has it all. An active, supportive community, an awesome Wiki, product reviews, and an epic straight razor shaving how to video. Bookmark this site.

Badger and Blade

Straight from tnt to strop then shave.........OUCH!
and plus 1 from me on Robins post above....

Well apparently this is an "alternative journal" and as such I can't read it from work... oh well.

Not to bad!!
