Well, I am four months into straights. This has turned out to be so much more than just a traditional way of shaving. It has become a full fledged hobby. I was already a DE enthusiast, but this takes it to a whole new level. My wife usually gets the mail (up the street) so now when I get the mail she says “what did you buy now?” She has threatened to take my credit card. LOL! Seriously though, I am thankful for all the great knowledge this community imparts.
