Hello, I'm going to start shaving with a straight razor next week.
The plan is to take it slowly and do as is adviced in the beginners guide.
At the moment I'm still using my Gilette Fusion and I had the intention to keep on using it.
However, my skin is getting more and more irritated. (It might be a psychological issue, since I'm dying to use my straight razor)
I'm thinking of buying a DE razor to use as backup, is that a wise thing to do?
Or would it take me to long to get used to the DE razor?

Another aspect that coms to mind is travel.
I imagine it's a lot easier to take a DE razor and some blades with me instead of the straight razor.
True or false? What do you guys travel with?
