I am not sure what brought me to straights, Maybe since I have around a hundred knives, and I like sharp things, maybe one reason.
Why did I start using a fountain pen, because it actually means something I think, It writes better, and there is a small amount upkeep, I like to play w/t things.
Str8ts were always in the back of my head, the class, whenever I saw one in a store I wanted to buy one, even though I would not know what to do with it.
I used an electric, and only very rarely would I bust out the M3 for the wife, The days following would be bad razor burn, and ingrown hairs. So one late night after work I stumbled on this site, and everyone saying how great of a shave, no razor burn any more, So I invested some cash, two months later, The wife is glad I am one again clean shaven, probably for the longest stretch yet. But she does not see the need for my six straights, and desire to buy more.
I get the same thing though from people, how your crazy, and that is after you explain what a str8t is.
