    When I first started shaving I used a DE. When I joined the military I would switch between an electric and a Bic disposable! At about age 27 I switched to straights!

    After about 1 week my M3 went to my wife (to many cartiges to throw away) and have never looked back, straight only, till something prevents me from being able to use one anymore

    Mostly str8s, with the occasional shave with a DE or SE. The Gillette Fatboy if I'm in a real hurry.

    Straights 99% of the time with the Single Edge Gem Razors when the fancy strikes - about 1% of the time.
