You know, I think a big part of the reason I like shaving with a straight is that it's not easy. It does take time and in this age of instant gratification it's a pleasure to do something in a way that hasn't been simplified and made "convenient". Enjoy the journey, the satisfaction of seeing your shaves improve day by day is remarkable.
