I can't believe that I mentioned this before, but I am REALLY big into animal rights and I think that it's really really cool that Headblade stuff is cruelty free. That makes me more than glad to support them and buy their products. I wasn't sure if anyone else knew that or not, so I figured I'd mention!

always nice to hear... thx for sharing. O0

Another positive from HeadBlade O0
-
That's good to hear bro. O0

Did not know that but think its great. One more reason to stick with them.

Excellent! I am always up for saving the animals as much as possible, unless I am eating it.......

haha, that's why I'm vegetarian! Actually, Kori and I both are, we also live a cruelty free lifestyle as much as possible.

Is that a pretty hard lifestyle to lead in TX?

I have been working for the past few months on converting to a vegan lifestyle. I mean, I'm not going to stop wearing some of my clothes simply because they are wool, I will use them until they are beyond usefulness, then buy something that is not made from animals. It was surprisingly easy for me to stop eating meat, that part came overnight

Not so much, I do catch a lot of sh*t from the closed minded-ignorant people around here, but that's not enough to stop me. The hardest part about living a cruelty free lifestyle is knowing what products you can and cannot use. Finding products that DON'T test on animals is harder than you think. I just recently found out that Gillette tests their products on animals, so I've eliminated the use of all of their products. I'm back to using the Personna Auto Plus blades because they are make by the American Safety Razor company, which does NOT conduct animal testing. You actually wouldn't believe all the products that we've had to stop using to embrace this lifestyle.. but in my eyes it's well worth it.

I hear ya. Do you have a Whole Foods there? They tend to carry products that cater to the Vegetarian and Vegan folks.

No, I really wish we did though. That would make my life a lot easier, lol.

MMMMM... BEEF. Nothing against Vegitarians; my only question is why senselessly kill innocent Vegitables... I mean what did they ever do to you? $@y
Here's to reserving the kitchen table for those tasty tasty Vegi Murderers:
Cows, Turkeys, Chickens... Its a tough job, but someone has to punish the guilty )-m

Is that a mockery?

i totally respect that you choose that and that you do not preach to others that they shouldn't. you both are cool as hell. we all have to live for ourselves and what we think is right. personnally i don't think i could do it. but much respect to those that do.

I appreciate that, Paulie! It means a lot to hear people say that.

I concur as well. Nothing wrong with going the distance for what you believe in.

I've tried going vegetarian for week twice. The 1st time i tried it was pretty easy. The 2nd time i found it surprisingly difficult. Which led to me thinking is there anything addictive about eating meat? Or is it more a psychological thing.
Either way its a scary thought.
-
Nothin' wrong with going Vegitarian, either way, whatever works for you. And Yes, it was a slight Mockery, but what do you expect out of me? Last I checked, when god was handing out good looks and brain power, I was still over in the Wit section of the Market $c#m :*)) :*))
I went Vegitarian for a little while also... I give you guys credit, its a solid lifestyle. Anyone notice how much better Cruelty free meat tastes? To be honest, I would like to live a day as a Kobe Beef Cow! Proves, good meat comes from humane treatment!
-
had a buddy in colorado that was strict vegitarian. he did it stay healthy and slim for rock climbing. dude was a bad ass on the rock walls. he loved steak, but chose not to eat meat. kudos to him. maybe i am weak but i goota have meat.
-
nothing wrong with being a vegan..its definetly a healthier lifestyle than us meat eaters for sure...i could prob use a few months or years on a vegan diet to lower my cholesterol lol but its hard to give up a triple stack wendys burger or a delicious venison backstrap #ng^y

had a buddy in colorado....
Whatta ya mean "had"? .... ain't we buddies anymore :'(
Was it something I said? :-[

i don't think either one of us is in any shape to climb anything. probably just at the bottom and drink a couple cold beers and talk about climbing. oh yeah, you are still my buddy.

I enjoy meat too much also. My great grandparents had a ranch and that is some of THE best beef in the world.
-
Yeah, I tried to go veg. once but it lasted about a day. I love meat way too much. Give me a big old fat medium or medium rare steak and get your fingers out of the way. I also love burgers. Damn, I have to go get something to eat. `dr**l

Being a Midwesterner I enjoy my meat too, but had the chance to eat at my niece's vegetarian restaurant this weekend and I gotta tell you that was some good food. I am very impressed the combinations of flavors and textures and I didn't miss having meat at all. And way to go Funnel, for following a path less traveled.

I appreciate that. I want to dedicate the rest of my life being the voice of the voiceless. I love animals, always have, and I think they need to be treated fairly, and right now that just isn't happening. If anyone else is interested in animal testing, please contact me, you would be amazed at some of the companies that test their products on animals.. and exactly what these test are in detail. It will make you think twice before you buy certain products.
Also, I know everyone has their own opinion, and I will NEVER mock anyone for what they feel is right, nor will I ever try to push my beliefs on anyone. That's why I say contact me if you would like to know more, because I don't want people to feel that I am trying to shove my beliefs down their throat. My main goal is to put a STOP to animal testing. It's cruel and useless.

Dude, I back you 100%. Animal testing is wrong beyond the common concept of morality. Its more a basic human understanding of Morality. I mean, anyone who has had a pet in their lives understands that all the creatures of this world want is to either live in peace, or live a existance devoted to service of our own species.
Yo, Funnel Weaver, I respect you man. I Meant no disrespect before, just me spouting off... Hit me up with some info bro O0. Animal cruelty should not exist in a modern progressive society, I don't see any way towards ethical justification of Animal Cruelty.

well i sure thank you for not trying to preach to us about it...i have nothing against vegans...or animal rights activists...but the moment they try to tell me how to live my life is when my views of them change...good luck in your quest... O0

Kajun, well stated.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Gillette tests their products on animals, and I must correct this. They are currently observing a hold on animal testing. They said they wouldn't test on animals for 16 months, but that was several years ago. They have yet to sign the paperwork with PETA stating that they will never test on animals again, so they may again resume in the future. I was relieved to read that because sensor excel blades are BY FAR my favorite and I love the way my Fusion shaves my face. I'll just have to keep a watchful eye on that case, because if they should decide to resume testing, I'll have no choice but to stop supporting them.

I respect your beliefs bro and I think it's good to be a part of a good cause. O0 Good for you man. I'm not into animal rights or anything like that but at the same time I do like animals and definitely feel they shouldn't be mistreated. So I definitely would like some of that info you have on the different companies so that way I can make sure I don't support their abuse towards animals. Let me get some of that info, or at least a list of companies. Thanks.
Maybe even start a new thread under general topics and list them there. However bro. O0

That again has become a Positive for the HB Blades compared to the Alternative, Knowledge that the company as a whole is Ethical toward there testing is definately reasuring come shave time. I don't want a side of Guilt to go with my shave :o not good, not good

O0 To all my bald brothers: Happy and blessed Easter. To Noner: Buona Pasqua. Funnelweaver and Kori: you're not alone. I have not eaten meat of any kind since 1970--long before you were born, I suspect. But I am not a fanatic; I eat fish and eggs, occasionally wear wool and leather; and avoid products that abuse animals. Saint Francis of Assisi taught me that when I was a child. Glad to know about Headblade; I'd expect nothing less of Todd Greene. A lot of blood and hatred flowed in the 20th century. On this morning, still thinking of Calvary and the tomb, I'd like to think we've learnt something in the last 2000 years. Professor Melon
