After that first time instead of asking for straights I just told them I collected old shaving stuff: brushes, straight razors, safety razors, mugs, etc. Made sure to talk very politely and that got better reactions. I haven't found any straights yet so far though. :( One shop had a few but they were pakistans. I have bought a couple of DEs, even though I haven't shaved with a DE since I got my straight. Still looking though!!
