I've had mine for 5 years and am curious about this technique... Almost to the point of shaving.. but I feel I would miss my stache. (note I'm only 25 so it's been 20% of my life with a stash)

Will never shave mine off.was in a major MC accident (1966) covers up some horrific scars

I'm not trying to crap on you, but I don't see the connection unless there's something I'm missing?

I agree, a Fusion is not a Straight Razor. Comparing apples and oranges.

Did you read the OP? I never made any such comparison.

Not sure how it helped as the hand positions are completely different let alone the razors themselves but glad it worked for you.
