The leap of faith.

[Pegaso]

Hello,

I would like to use a straight razor, but I've yet to take this leap of faith. I've always loved the archaic elegance of straight razors, DE razors and all their requisite accessories.

I've been using a Merkur DE with Feather blades for some time now and have never had any problems with the setup so perhaps, the transition from DE to straight shouldn't be such a hard one?

My concern is that while I have fairly coarse facial hair, the hair doesn't grow very fast or too much--usually I only have to shave every other day.

Any thoughts?
