Hey Capn

If you listen to crazy voices, you have only yourself to blame.

The three-bladed things seem to last longer, shave smoother, and don't cut me. That's all I need, to be honest. If I want to recreate the nineteenth century I have my great-great-grandmother's whalebone corset.

It's Arse.  Astute observation ol' chum, esp. on the straight razor v. the safety/merkur type.

I use the ol' Mach 3 but should try the Fusion, but didn't switch from the Atra to the Mach 3 until the Fusion came out.  Then I went to Costco and bought something like 160 blades so I'd never have to go to Costco again.  But when they run out, per'aps I'll graduate to the Fusion.

one little discussed area on the furums is the shaving of  the pubic hair area - in my experience ladies love nothing more than licking a nicely clean shaven  pair of testicles.
Now after much trial and error I have found that the application of a shaving oil rather than foam or soap is better ( you can see what you are doing better to avoid all those nooks and crannys where a blade could possibly snag)
It seems a twin bladed razor with the little blue lube strip allows for the optimum removal of the wispy hairs that grow thereabouts- for the sake of symetry-I prefer to keep the hair around the pubic bone above the penis trimmed -but not shaven although-I do feel it is important to ensure full hair removal from the shaft area.

As an aside and as a matter of observation I prefer my ladies to be trimmed and neatly presented rather than shaved.

I propose the use of the term iGent's Razor to refer to any time a member of the modern human race, in a seemingly irrational bid to cling to the good old days, refuses to upgrade to a modern amenity so that he may stay true to his traditionalist roots.  In other words, the most counterintuitive, difficult to use item will often be the item chosen by the iGentry to accomplish a task or fit a need.

See a gentleman in a pair of button boots that took him 30 minutes to fasten, even though Eddie Green makes an identical pair with laces that takes 30 seconds?  iGent's Razor at work.

What ho, that man down at the park on the bicycle with the 6 foot front tire?  iGent's Razor.

A discreetly worn derringer for personal protection on the mean streets of Rapid City, Iowa?  iGent's Razor. 

Science has its Razor, interweb sartorialists need their own. 

The only question I am afraid it cannot answer is what contraption the iGentry uses to connect to the interwebz..

Sadly I cannot see this thread as I am so Gentlemanly we do not have the Internet in my sinister-little-buried-in-the middle-of-the-country village.

And even if we had I wouldn't read or respond to threads like this.

We have a televison, but I haven't turned it on since the Falklands war. Nothing any good has happened since.

I'm proud to be English. Ever so.
