'''Tonsorial Tricks''' are a set of scripted shaving devices that interact with one another and allow characters with beards set as their Distinguishing Mark to shave and style them. This results in a temporary 4-hour change to the Distinguishing Mark feature. The temporary style can also be shaved off to have a ''clean-shaven face'' for the remainder of the 4-hour duration. They only work for characters that already have facial hair.

'''Tonsorial Tricks''' razors are scripted shaving devices that allow characters with beards set as their Distinguishing Mark to shave and style them. This results in a temporary 4-hour change to the Distinguishing Mark feature. The temporary style can also be shaved off to have a clean-shaven face for the remainder of the 4-hour duration.


Tonsorial Tricks shaving implements were first sold in '''Shaver Me Timers''' at the 2015 [[Spitfire]]. The shop was described as offering shaving supplies, specialty scented soaps, and fine-quality razors. The shop also several different bowls, unscripted containers, small [[mirror]]s suitable for inclusion with a shaving kit, and a ten different scented soaps. Shaving implements have been sold at a variety of [[festival]]s since. These razors were most recently sold at [[Ebon Gate]] in [[EHShop:Quinton Manse|Quinton Manse]].

You analyze the steel straight razor and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
You analyze the glass shaving bowl and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."


The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a Tonsorial Tricks item and as such will temporarily change your Distinguishing Mark Feature to have a groomed {{blue|goatee}}.
A white glass shaving bowl appears to be a shaving bowl used for holding shaving soap.
The change will last for four hours, but if you don't like the style then you can shave it off and the rest of the time your face will be clean shaven.
Closer inspection reveals that you can PUT or DROP soap IN the bowl.

Once filled and wetted down with water, a wet brush can be DIPPED or DROPPED IN the bowl to create shaving lather.
It is currently One (OTS) out of Four Tiers, and has access to one style.

Tonsorial Tricks are a set of scripted shaving devices that interact with one another and allow characters with beards set as their Distinguishing Mark to shave and style them. This results in a temporary 4-hour change to the Distinguishing Mark feature. The temporary style can also be shaved off to have a clean-shaven face for the remainder of the 4-hour duration. They only work for characters that already have facial hair.

Tonsorial Tricks shaving implements were first sold in Shaver Me Timers at the 2015 Spitfire. The shop was described as offering shaving supplies, specialty scented soaps, and fine-quality razors. The shop also several different bowls, unscripted containers, small mirrors suitable for inclusion with a shaving kit, and a ten different scented soaps. Shaving implements have been sold at a variety of festivals since. These razors were most recently sold at Ebon Gate in Quinton Manse.

Shaving Razor

Tier 1

Analyze

You analyze the steel straight razor and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a Tonsorial Tricks item and as such will temporarily change your Distinguishing Mark Feature to have a groomed goatee.
The change will last for four hours, but if you don't like the style then you can shave it off and the rest of the time your face will be clean shaven.

It is currently One (OTS) out of Four Tiers, and has access to one style.
Additionally, it has access to the following verbs: Close, Nudge, Open, Pull**, Rub*
Lastly, your steel straight razor is currently set to create the following style: pencil-thin, melanite black goatee

*Indicates grooming action.
**Indicates clean shaven action.

You may alter this freely provided it still looks and functions like a normal straight razor.

You get no sense of whether or not the razor may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb First Third
CLOSE Carefully putting weight on the blade of your steel straight razor, you close the sharp edge into the protective handle. Carefully putting weight on the blade of his steel straight razor, XXX closes the sharp edge into the protective handle.
NUDGE You carefully run your thumb across the blade of your steel straight razor, testing the keenness of its edge. XXX carefully runs his thumb across the blade of his steel straight razor, testing the keenness of its edge.
OPEN With a deft twist of your wrist, you flick your steel straight razor open. With a deft twist of his wrist, XXX flicks his steel straight razor open.
PULL Lifting your chin at an angle, you carefully use your steel straight razor upon the hair that graces your face and give yourself a good clean shave. Lifting his chin at an angle, XXX carefully uses his steel straight razor upon the hair that graces his face and gives himself a good clean shave.
RUB Lifting your chin at an angle, you carefully use your steel straight razor upon the hair that graces your face and trim it into a pencil-thin, melanite black goatee. Lifting his chin at an angle, XXX carefully uses his steel straight razor upon the hair that graces his face and trims it into a pencil-thin, melanite black goatee.

Tier 2

Usage

Tier 2 adds CLEAN, FLIP, GAZE, and SLAP. FLIP’s displayed styles vary with the razor’s type and current selection.

Verb Condition First Third
CLEAN — You carefully pick a stray hair out of the hinge on your steel straight razor. XXX carefully picks a stray hair out of the hinge of his steel straight razor.
FLIP Example You flip a small toggle hidden in the hinge of your steel straight razor and feel confident that you have changed your razor's styling method from "pencil-thin, melanite black goatee" to "well-groomed circular mustache that meets a small chin patch of melanite black hair." XXX fidgets with his steel straight razor.
GAZE Razor open You hold your steel straight razor up to the light and gaze down the length of the blade for several thoughtful moments. XXX holds his steel straight razor up to the light and gazes down the length of the blade for several thoughtful moments.
SLAP Leather belt Grabbing the end of your leather belt in your teeth, you pull the leather taut with your left hand and carefully sharpen your steel straight razor along its length for several moments. Grabbing the end of his leather belt in his teeth, XXX pulls the leather strap taught with his left hand and carefully sharpens his steel straight razor along its length for several moments.
SLAP Silk item You glance between your steel straight razor and the silk item and for several moments contemplate creating a beautiful disaster of fabric in your hands. XXX glances between his steel straight razor and the silk item for several long moments.
SLAP No suitable item You glance around, your steel straight razor firmly gripped in your hand, and look for something to sharpen the blade upon. Perhaps a leather belt? XXX glances around, his steel straight razor firmly gripped in his hand.

Tier 3

Usage

Tier 3 does not add any new verbs. It expands the razor's available facial-hair styles from three to five.

Tier 4

Tier 4 expands the razor to eight styles, including a customizable style, and adds SPIN. SPIN cycles the razor between goatee, beard, and mustache styling.

Usage

Verb Condition First Third
SPIN Razor closed Pinching the hinge between your index finger and thumb, you give the steel straight razor a good spin and realize that you've just changed its style type from "goatee" to "beard." Pinching the hinge of his steel straight razor between his index finger and thumb, XXX spins a pearl-handled steel straight razor around in his palm.
