Something I never thought I'd hear a woman say to me.

"I find it incredibly sexy that you shave with your eyes closed."

Yikes, I'd have to say that I find it incredibly DANGEROUS. You do use a safety razor of some sort, right--no bare blades, no Sweeney Todd-era technology?

Straight razors all the way, baybeee. All my women love the scent of danger.

A straight razor? Without looking? I suppose with practice I could do that but I have some bumps here and there where I really prefer to look up close. So do you use a shaving brush and mug? Do you use a razor strop and a hone? And you look up every once in a while with an evil grin? Oh here's another question, do you carry it in your luggage on plane flights? Or in your carry-on bag?

Oh, I was kidding about the straight razor. Sorry. I use a safety razor and regular gel soap.

"Qua la parruca... Presto la barba...
Qua la sanguigna..."
from "Largo al factotum"

"dissimulando scoprir porto."
From “Se vuol ballare”

I'd say that's all Greek to me, but I at least recognize it as Italian.

"There's the knife... fast the barber... there's the blood" from "Slow all facts, tote them"?

"Dissimulate as you scope the rear door"?

This all made me think of Figaro.

Largo al factotum, Figaro's aria from Il Barbiere di Siviglia

Qua la parruca...Presto la barba.. What about the wig... A quick shave...
Qua la sanguigna... Some leeches for bleeding...

I just got the notification for this comment -- sheesh!

I figured you were quoting from The Barber of Seville, thanks for the accurate translations. Yeah!
