The Official Banter Away Thread

Well, if you go vintage (the best way to start) you can snag one for about 30 dollars. Add in a cheap leather strop and brush, along with a decent shave soap, and total start up is about 75 bucks. After that though, you are set for quite a while.

I have everything besides the leather strop and a knife. So shouldn't be that expensive then. I googled it and saw new knives for.. stupid high prices

This thread used to be about beards darnit.

I still have a beard, not the mountain man kind but anyways. You still need to keep it at bay and shave so one thing does not exclude the other one!

I spent damn near the whole day doing Erica's bidding yesterday. Lame! On the bright side, I taught myself how to wire a light fixture and came away unshocked.

That should be marked down as a huge win there Hawk! Well done!

I hate doing that kind of stuff. We we moved in our house, we had a problem with light bulbs breaking off in the socket. So it was me, with a pair of pliers trying to unscrew them. Never once got shocked but always fearful.

I know the breakers are off and all, but for some reason there is still a little fear when you grab that wire lol. Regardless, she's happy and I'll be taking payment in the form of extra golf.

I have had some potato success. The needle nose works but is both difficult and kind of scary. I'm not fond of electrocution.

Man I need more Tmex in my life.

That's what I used, and yes, it is scary. Even with the breakers off, I still dont trust it.

Remember the days when you were hoping for other forms of payment?

HAHA +1.. Still young here

Well, using a straight will change your tune. I hated shaving. Now I shave every day. Nothing makes you feel more alive than having a straight hovering over your jugular.

I wouldn't trust myself. If I go into that thread and never post again you now know why. Lol.

 

[MWard]

Wake, I hear ya bout the FSU girls. Might be the hottest in the country and theyre down to party & hook up.

I had my share of Greek mixers at the U which were absolutely crazy. Joining a frat guarantees a great time at any school. Def miss those days!

I suddenly miss my alma mater that much more :/. Between the start of sundress season and the random times you see girls in bathing suits laying out on the giant field between some of the dorms and library, I miss her dearly!

 

[JR]

It honestly scared the hell out of me the first time I used a strainght, but now i feel as safe with it as i do with a Mach 3.

I wouldn't trust myself. If I go into that thread and never post again you now know why. Lol.

 

[Tmex]

You all rule btw!!!!!!!

 

[Hawk]

Hi Tmex. I too miss THP. Hoping for some normalcy in a couple weeks. Who knows, I might just get canned and then I'll have all day.
