Thread: Shaved straight for 6+ months, ready to toss it.

I did something similar as you about eight years ago. I decided to try straight shaving and just dove in, but I was more fool hardy and stupid. After about nine months of stubourness I went back to an M3. But with all the great advice I found at this site and some other sites I was able to go back to the straight. This year my new years resolution was to throw out my M3. Forever more the only blade that will touch my face will be either a straight or a DE.
With the great advice you will find here I'm sure you will come to love your straight too.

Spot the difference? Read into it what you will.

Good textual analysis, sir! I hadn't spotted that, but it is mighty telling. Someone ought to let them in on the secret that the perfect-est shave is available with a good straight razor.
