Default Art of Manliness - Straight Razor Shaving Article

Looks like there's both good and bad information in this article. SRP and SRD is mentioned.

What's the bad info in that article? I only skimmed through it quickly but it looked good to me. The honing section is perhaps a bit oversimplified, but it is a good starter IMHO.

Nice article. Yes, a bit simplified, but you can't expect perfection in 1500 to 2000 words. The vids on tying a tie were great!
