Straight-razor shaving

A barber in Manhattan offers Cut Throat 101, a class in shaving with a straight razor.

New technology allows us to shave our face in just about any direction at any reasonable speed, like a freewheeling painter working on a shaving cream canvas. Operating a straight razor is different. It requires the precision of a surgeon and the flexibility of a yoga master.

My tip? Just don't shave at all.
