I think you're a lovely man and I too love whiskey.
The rest of that stuff you wrote... you're on your own there. That was like rhetorical seppuku.

i'm just talking about my experiences
i try to be honest and transparent about it with myself and with others. i'd be lying if i said i just started drinking because i was curious about it, or something. and of course the greatest sin for my generation is to lack self-awareness.
i'm sure there are plenty of people who aren't affected by the ideas of "fine things" but i think it is very common - much moreso in this instance than gender identity motivations. I don't think drinking hard liquor has a powerful relationship with masculinity these days.
and having superficial motivations or interests isn't necessarily bad, as long as they are not the foundation for important decisions or behaviour. dressing well, for example, literally means caring about how you look to other people. you don't have to care about it, and you shouldn't let it control your life, but it's a fun indulgence and can be quite rewarding.

Like, I have one of those safety razors (not sure if this is the US terminology - common razor with a head that you throw away after a while and change for one of an over-priced pack of 3) WITH A BATTERY-POWERED MOTOR!
So, you just shave like with a normal rubbish safety razor but then it vibrates and shaves really smoothly and doesn't give me razor burn or cut me ever.
IT'S AN AWESOME PIECE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY THAT DID NOT EVEN EXIST WHEN I WAS LEARNING TO SHAVE!
Purposefully choosing some old-timey-coincidentally-a-deadly-weapon razor makes me raise a single eyebrown, spock-like. A spockbrow.
Possibly spockbrow should be a unit measuring polite disbelief.
Straight razor? A single spockbrow.
A fixie? 3 spockbrows.
Also, I've seen someone attacked with a straight razor, and it didn't endear me towards the device much.
In summary, MY RAZOR IS SO COOL I AM LIVING IN THE FUTURE!
Safety razors are usually understood to be the kind you unscrew and mount a single blade on.
I have something that's more or less a straight razor too but it's tricker to work with and I think my skin is easier to cut now.

posh, a safety razor isn't a disposable razor or one of those mach 3s. it's specifically a similarly-shaped thing that you use good ol' razor blades with. it isn't a straight razor, which looks more like a knife and is actually somewhat dangerous to use.
thus the name "safety razor" i guess.
you slide the blade into the safety razor, rather than putting on the whole head. razorblades are very cheap and are sharper. they're in fact so cheap that you can use one blade per shave and save tons of money over time vs replacing disposable heads.

straight razors are very difficult to use but give a much closer shave, and when done correctly, and combined with balms, hot towels, and aftershaves, can be a very stimulating and pleasurable experience
fixed gear bicycles are excellent ways to get around urban environs
that young people latch onto them as some sort of a gauge of authenticity ought not slight the things in themselves
I'm scared of safety razors and straight razors because of depression.

I know. Kinda over-sharey of me, but I really want a straight razor for shaving because they do such a great job but I'm seriously scared and not trusting of myself.
Rad and I went to one of Lush's new spas. Lush wants them to have a British feel and the deept tissue massage in particular a nautical one. It was actually really nice. And then you finish with this:
my buddy and i were comparing how weird our relatives are
he won by telling me about his possibly autistic cousin who is obsessed with Sephiroth and evil
and how, when his brother took this cousin to the war museum, she saw a picture of Hitler, pointed at it, and said "I love him! He's evil like MEEEEEEeeeee!"

I really like mine. Soon it's gonna be a non-face thing only though, hopefully.

i really want a safety razor because a) you get a better shave and b) you start saving money really quickly
it's just a better product than the shit you get with Gilette, and their marketing to make those razors the default was all-around a bad thing for men's hygiene
it is universally regarded that MrMister enjoys epicurean pleasures even less than surrealitycheck
his main impetus tends to be the bacchanalian

curse them and their legacy of razor burn
You've gotta buy the whole kit though. Brush, soap, etc.
Though the soap is amazingly awesome, really.

I use a safety razor with bog standard shave gel lathered by hand
Although I do get oiler gel as opposed to soapier
