Whilst I still look forward to my shaves, they have become fairly automatic, around 15 minutes start to finish.

last week I had a visitor who came into the bathroom and chatted to me whilst I shaved. On a couple of occasions during the shave, she jogged my arm to emphasize a point and to get my attention. Neither of us gave a thought to the fact that I was shaving with a straight razor and it really didn't bother me at all.

It's only really reading this thread that I realize how comfortable I have become, shaving with a straight.

Clearly, now that I have voiced this confidence, I'm heading for a disaster.
