Real men don’t shave with plastic razors
Real men don’t share with multiple-blade razors.
Real men don’t give a shi..ne about razor burn. WTF is razor burn, anyway? Something that happens only when you attempt or labor to actually scrape your bare dry skin with a razor blade? Sure, go have fun – dry shave if you must – and you can do this. (I think they even made a big deal of it in a move once . . maybe the VERY manly Dirty Dozen.) Real men do shave with some form of lather and therefore don’t suffer the dreaded “razor burn” that some marketing wimps attempt to put should-be-real-men in fear of.
Don’t buy it. Forget the plastic blade pre-packaged razors. Forget 2,3,4 or 5 blade razors. Really . . . 5 blades? 4 blades? 3 blades?
I’m older enough to remember when Saturday Night Live (SNL) ran a Mock-U-Mercial (mock commercial), shortly after the introduction of 2 blade razors, that touted the new 3 blade razor’s ability to grab the whisker and cut it, then cut it again as it snapped back, and then the third blade would do even more . . with the commercial ending with the statement (something like) “We’re bringing you this new product . . because . . YOU’LL BELIEVE ANYTHING!”.
Words out: MAN UP. Go find a single blade injector razor and use it or, if you’re into even older “has stood the test of time”, buy the even older fashion double edged razor blades in stainless steel. And if you really want to go to old school buy the type of razor blade that you never change. You only sharpen. On a leather strap.
Seriously, stop feeding tons of ridiculously unnecessary trash to the landfills in the form of billions of disposable plastic razor blade wraps. Stop feeding the oil barrons and sheiks your hard-earned dollars on all that needless plastic.
All you really need is a small piece of sharp steel to get the job done. Every time.
I’ve been shaving with a single blade injector razor for 40 years and can’t recall a single case of “razor burn”.
Oh, yeah, maybe once . . when I UNMANLY tried splashing someone else’s UNMANLY “aftershave” (WTF?) on my face. Mostly water and alcohol, the undrinkable kind. Got a bit of a momentary tingle. Ooooooo . . . call the baby doctor.
So, support the continued existence of manhood by buying and ONLY USING single (or double) edge injector (slides into the razor) blades. They will last about a week to 10 days each, if you’re a real man – will and able to yank out a few whiskers by the root at the end of its service life. But heck, you’re a real man, so you will have plenty of whiskers to spare . . and a little bit of pain in the morning wakes you up and reminds you . . that you are MAN and taking pain is just part of the job.
