I am drawn to the straight because of several things: its lack of a need to buy anything further once I have the straight, strop and hone as well as shaving the same way men have done for centuries; my double edge has a real problem getting right under the nose and cartridge razors are even worse at that, my straight is the only blade that can acomplish that feat.

The troubble is that I am not having much luck learning the art on my own even with reading the posts on this forum. Are there any sites out there that can show me a movie of how to acomplish this task? Perhaps on youtube?
