Welcome to SRP!


Straight shaving is, in my opinion, one of the greatest things I've ever done. However, it also has its moments when it's the most aggravating thing I've done.

Straight shaving has a rather steep learning curve (too steep for most folks to brave). It's not exactly like the other shaving methods, where you can generally figure out what to do and how to go about doing it. Straight shaving takes time and practice and dedication and thought. That's what sets it apart and makes it so much more worthwhile in the end.

So if you're looking for a fast, smooth shave without a lot of fuss, don't switch.

But if you're looking for the best shaves and most relaxed times of your life, go straight.

P.S. To note on you cutting yourself, it's not so much a worry with straight shaves. Yes, you may be more careful with a naked blade on your neck, but straights have the ability to be the sharpest tools you'll ever hold. The sharp edge does 98% of the work for you so you barely, if ever, apply pressure, thus preventing most nicks and cuts.

But on the end, I wish you the best in your endeavours.
