Thread: I need convincing

Only you can decide wether it's worth it or not, but let me tell you a little of my experience.
I experienced the same thing you describe, my face is more square with sharper edges and lines. The videos, at first, didn't assure me the shlightest bit.
However, I decided to stick it out and really read all there was to read, and try all the tips on this great site. Now, three months later, I get the closest and most comfortable shaves I have ever had.
Furthermore I truly enjoy learning this thing, and love my own half hour of zen in the bathroom every evening.
In addition to all that, I have a skin condition which if not respected, would have my face break out bad(Psoriasis).
Since switching to a straight razor, It's been absolutely 100% gone.

That's why I do it, good luck with your choice
