    You might find also as I have,that this is a great way to get rid of some of lifes doldrums and blahs. If I am stressed out or I'm having a crummy day,I have found that straight shaving gives me a nice little cheer up. Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Happy shaves guys !!

    It really is the last bastion of manhood that is truly our own...I look forward to my daily shave... It is the only pampering I allow myself....I think manicures, hairstylyles, pedicures and massages are not really owned by men...Shaving...That is ours and nobody can take that daily timeless ritual away....So learn to enjoy it...It should not be a hurried affair. The shave should be enjoyed and revilled in as an expression of your dominance over your kingdom....Okay, that's a little much...But, you get the picture.....Guys dig knives and it really feels great to shave with a straight.

    I agree with Wintchase ,it really is the last bastion of manly freedom. I think some folks I know are actually jealous of the fact that I shave with a straight. This is becoming more of a herd mentality society , and straight shaving reeks of independent thinking.Most of the herd just wants to be magically whisker free so they can get on with being cattle. Wake up and smell the shaving cream herd !!

    The women folk can keep their pedicures but I am planning on taking back massages in 2011.

    I find it had a calming effect, as it requires total concentration.
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.
