Thread: How come no razor burn with straight?

+1! Very true!

I never liked those cartridge razors with suspended edges. They always tug at my whiskers, no matter what I do.

I get terrible razor burn from my straights....so, you got me!

I used to have horrible razor burn with my twin blade disposable. The burn went away once I started using a str8. In fact, when I was still using a dsiposable to finish my neck and chin, I noticed how hard I scraped with it. Once I let the disposable do its job without pressure, I didn't even get a burn with the disposable. True, I had to replace the disposable every 2 or 3 shaves, but it did give a better, more comfortable shave after I started with the str8 and paid more attention.
