Throwing Up the SGH Bat Signal

JohnInCarolina

I’m at the Marriott and since I don’t have my bags or my razor, the hotel gave me this so called “shaving kit”:



I’m about to break out in cold sweats here in my hotel room.  @SGH, old buddy, what would you do in this situation?  Do I give it the old college try, or abandon all hope and head to the airport looking like everyone else at LaGuardia?

It would be ok to shave your legs with.

Now is not the time to start shaving your Nuts.

Thanks fellas.  This is one time I’m happy to listen to folks with first-hand expertise.

Man @SGH is all shaving all the time, but in a real crisis, where is he?

I might take offense to that, not very PC.  

JK probably better off going outside of the hotel and looking for some buster glass or car mirrors and use that instead of the razor they gave you

One would assume he is busy working on another @SGH seal of approval graphic.  IIRC, the current version shows Scottie with facial hair.

It’s very rare that I say this, but I wouldn’t shave with that. I just wouldn’t desecrate my face with such. 

JohnInCarolina

Man it's a good thing this wasn't a life and death situation, although I think shaving with that thing could have turned out to have been.

Ya shoulda packed a Norelco.

John....Sherly a man of your smarts can make this decision on your own.

I am confused.  Shaving with these fancy razors and soaps and brushes and bowls is supposed to be better than anything else - bbs as they say.  To the point of people saying they only have to shave every other day.  Scottie shaves twice per day, 200% more than people with disposables or electrics and 400% more than what I read online about shaving less often when the shave is that good.  Sumpin ain’t right.

They're closed there - he finally just got eyeball tattoos on his eyelids.

I have an electric razor, but it was in my checked luggage, which was... in another state.

@JohnInCarolina - WTF are you right now??

I understand that soccer refs use shaving cream to mark spots where the ball must be positioned for free kicks and the player wall must be set up 10 yards away.  Is there a particular brand that works best?  I haven't noticed any particular peaks on the lather.  Should they carry a puck with them and a brush to improve the lather on the field?

@JohnInCarolina Dude, did you ever make it home?  I told Cindy if you could get a flight into Concord we would personally drive you to Durham...Of course it would be a good excuse to drop in on our daughter also.

Sorry I missed these earlier friends.  I was able to make it home by about three this afternoon, largely by purchasing a new flight on Frontier.  I’ve just been spending the night hanging out with my daughters.

Didn’t pass through Atlanta so that’s a negatory.

Let me shed some light on this for you my confused friend. First, shaving with a DE and good shave soap no doubt produces a better and closer shave. This is indisputable and easily proven. It’s no contest. 
Second, what determines how often someone needs to shave is how fast their facial grows. Some folks can get by with skipping a day or two without shaving. This is because they are slow growers. Slow growers can shave with a cheap disposable and and get by fine for a day or two. Fast growers on the other hand can shave with a straight or a Muhle and still need a shave in 8-12 hours. 
Ever hear of 5 o’clock shadow? Some of us can shave in the morning and by evening time look and feel rough. Others do not. Slow growers may not develop 5 o’clock shadow for a day or two. 
Its a simple matter of how fast your facial hair grows. Shaving with the Muhle certainly buys me time between shaves. But it’s hours, not days.

So if I read this right, @SGH, you’re saying that you’re a grower, but not a shower.  Now I understand.

At the end of the day it's all about the feel and where you plant your face...some may like a little friction
