I COOK like a MAN. With a CAST IRON SKILLET. And then I DRY IT GENTLY with a CLOTH. And ANOINT IT'S FACE LIGHTLY WITH OILS. And then put it in its SPECIAL AREA like a LITTLE PRINCE.

    I just like using tools and a little bit of ritual. I found some old Erie cast iron at a thrift shop and cleaned it up and its just a pleasure.

      Same, it's the reason I also use a single bladed safety razor & shaving brush to shave. That and a pack of 100 single razor blades are cheaper than a 5 pack of shitty 6 bladed disposable gillette garbage

        I got so mad at my electric razor dying halfway through a shave, during my freshman year at college, that I legit rage purchased a safety razor, a blade sampler pack, shave soap and a brush while waiting for my razor to charge with a half shaved face.

        Eventually my beard started growing evenly so I stopped doing a clean shave but every few months I'll do it for the ritual. Steam and hot lathery tallow soap is very cozy.
