This is from a while back, but my buddy I used to live with went hogwild with all this modern distinguished gentleman bullshit, and I remember one day he went out and spent $400 on this ridiculous straight razor getup, including the leather strap and the brush that the guy is using in the video. I told him he was out of his mind and he gave me some speech about how this was much better than dumb modern razors etc. even though he had never used a straight razor in his life. I also told him that the shave brush I used cost like 8 dollars at Safeway and I didn't understand why his was $150 and girlfriend said "yours isn't badger hair. it's not going to give you as good of a shave". He immediately went in the bathroom to try out his new stuff and cut the ever loving poo poo out of his face with the straight razor. he straight up screamed "fuucckk!!" like 3 times while shaving and came out with these huge cuts all over his face. He never used it again and the store wouldn't take it back because he used it once. I feel bad making fun of them because they are good friends of mine and are overall rad, but holy poo poo you could sell them the stupidest bullshit with a couple of buzzwords. They were both broke and still spent unfathomable amounts of money on the dumbest snake oil products. He would refuse to drink my store brand coffee and insist on his "artisanal" brand, so sometimes I would use my store brand anyways without telling him and he never noticed.

That's not even what makes them expensive. I've seen badger hair brushes for $20 Also, it's safety razors. Safety razors are the best. Close shaves, dirt cheap blades and a short learning curve? From a razor/handle that costs as much as a pack of disposable heads and'll last for decades and which looks like this: They're the best. (The beeEEeest)

Reminds me of all the blind tests that have been done to show that sommelier certificates may ad well be issued by a certificate mill. i.e. dyeing white wine red and then people describe it as, "a full and deep red with blah blah red wine descriptors". Or serving them cheap wine in expensive bottles. I've pulled this on my very douchy friend that criticized me for drinking $5 wine. We don't speak much anymore.

Also might have to do with the fact field jackets aren't issued anymore but the concept of a wearable poncho liner is so genius people still buy them and don't know they're supposed to go with the old field jacket, so they got their own endearing name.

I used to think straight razors were cool so I bought a beginners razor. it had a little removable bit where the blade would normally be, and you put a razor blade inside the bit, slide it back into the tang and shave away without having to get it sharp enough first. it was unwieldy and a pain in the rear end to get a close shave. real glad I only spent ten bucks to learn a good lesson about obsolete products: they're obsolete for a reason.

It's actually super hip right now to use those things if you are 25. I still use the mach 3 handle that gillette sent me on my 18th birthday. If you get that reference you are actually old.

I also have a backup I got for free when I bought books for college years ago (gift box with razor, condom, coupons etc) and it owns. I respect safety razors and all but I really don't go through any Mach 3 blades at all. I thank my Swedish roots for my non metallic facial hair as my blades last forever.
