    After about a year or so of shaving with a straight I bought a DE razor out of pure curiosity. I was surprised! You can get really nice shaves with them! It was definitely easier to learn than a straight that's for sure. But I have noticed that I prefer shaving with a straight when my beard is a little longer. For a more short stubbly face, I shave with the DE. I've found that i'm much quicker with the DE, so when I'm in a rush or traveling I shave with the DE. The rest of the time I shave with my straight. Either way, you're a wet shaving bad$%@.
