straight razors

Somebody said that "it's incredibly macho to shave with something that can cut off your head". I'm about to find out.

Ordered myself a straight razor yesterday. Seems funny that the industry has sold everyone on safety razors and electric razors - I have both - but we are still in pursuit of a good close shave.

So I'm going back to early days and am going to try the straight razor. Strop, shaving cream and all. From all I've read, it'll take a while to learn how to use it - let's hope I down scar myself irremediably in the mean time.
