Definitely true, but it's a bit like a hand gun. Once a straight razor enters your hand, you become instantly aware of what it's capable of. It commands a certain amount of respect. I keep mine so sharp that it doesn't even require me to use a cutting motion. I can literally just touch the hairsnwith the tip of the blade gently and they start fluttering down to the floor. I cut myself once and it was such a fine cut that it stopped bleeding within about a minute.

That's fascinating

Certainly shaving with a straight razor shouldn't be discouraged, but a great deal of respect should be given to the blade- just like you'd give to a handgun.

And, no, I do not propose to shave my cock or balls with a straight razor.

My advice to my son on prom night:
"You have one job: make sure that your date has a good time. Nothing else matters."

Tell the people that you love, that you love them.

Body odor:
I have recently learned of a man who took pains to be clean but had a chronic body odor issue. It turns out that he bathed daily using laundry detergent, not soap. Soap and detergent are not the same thing. The more he bathed, the more he poisoned himself and made his condition worse. I do not know why, or how, he got started on this protocol. Once he stopped, his body odor problem was gone in a few days.
On a related point, do not let your laundry sit in the washer wet over night, or sit anywhere wet for very long. Mold begins very quickly and some people can smell it and the smell is not pleasant.
I, myself, cannot smell it but have learned to be very careful to make sure that my laundry is never allowed to sit wet. I have had to go buy a new shirt in the middle of the day after being alerted to the unpleasant odor by a co worker.
Last point, if some one you know and care about has an odor problem, tell them. Sure the conversation will be uncomfortable but a little discomfort on your part could save your friend a great deal of embarrassment.
Yarrr!

Accept that your life will include may awkward conversations and that is okay.
Have awkward conversations with the people that you care about whenever the need arises. Also, when some one initiates an awkward conversation with you, recognize the courage that is being displayed, acknowledge the risk being taken, and appreciate the honesty. The action is likely being taken for your benefit.
