Straight Razors

You like using a proper razor to shave. That means either a straight razor - preferably a Japanese one like this http://www.ehamono.com/zakka/img/kamisori/toumaki2.jpg - or an old-school safety razor, like this http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/522941/4597289.htm#image_1. A straight razor makes a statement: "I could cut off my own head at a moment's notice, but I choose not to." And the all-metal safety razor, while marginally less cool than the Japanese razor, is still far preferable to the plastic hydra-bladed razors you'll find on most drug store shelves.

A simple rule to live by: Metal is always better than plastic.

If you use an electric razor, you're a coward and a lazy ass. You probably still use blunt-nosed scissors, and you get other men to fuck your wife for you.
