I just got back from a week of traveling and brought a cartridge razor with me. Not fun at all. Today I broke out mt favorite straight and totally enjoyed the shave. So much easier to get a close shave.
Man, I know the feeling. It's been two days since I sent the razor off and haven't shaved since. I DREAD going back to the "C" word, if only for just one shave. Ever tried a DE? Thought about trying as an alternative for travel.
