I have been with this forum since 07 and I am still in the newbie section. Started with straights in 07 and left for the double edges and since have come back with some encouragement from forum members. Getting better at the cheecks and have not gotten to the lip and chin yet, taking this all slowly. So I am back and hoping to replace eight double edges with one straight, will save room in the shave den not to mention the blade costs.
