CLOSE CUTS br> Re: Mark Gauvreau Judge's Shaving Like a Man : /p> p>Great article! I'm still using an old Gillette that I have to disassemble in order to change the blade. Colgate still makes good shaving soap. And a shaving mug is any old coffee mug you no longer use, but don't want to throw away. I also, on occasion, use a Rolls Razor. Now that is Old School. Please remember not to bang your new razor on the sink to clear it. br> -- Jim br> New Providence, Pennsylvania /p> p> Thanks for the humorous essay. I'm 55, and still use a straight razor. Mostly, I suppose, as a quiet protest against disposable consumption, and because I take pride the skills required to maintain the edge. But also as a link to the past -- I remember my father shaving with one in Pullman car bathrooms at 65 mph between Chicago and Denver. br> -- Steve Huntley br> Florida /p>
