I have been shaving daily with a straight for a week and a half, and I am not getting any razor-burn whatsoever. This is so good. When shaving with disposables I could only shave every 3 days or so otherwise I'd get horrendous razor-burn. I nick myself in the same spot every night, but it is a raised bump (mole), and it would always nick if I shaved with disposables anyway so it is completely expected.Sitting here with two fingers of 16yo scotch whiskey on the rocks and loving life.Cheers to all you guys (and girls) for all of the helpful posts and youtube videos. Without you all, I am sure I would have shed a lot more blood.Josh
