Also, whenever I found a barber who still used SR, I would occasionally treat myself to a shave. Finally, and this may or may not be a factor for you, but I've had a lot of edged weapons training and feel extremely comfortable with all kinds of knives... I can fully understand if people need some time to get used to drawing a wicked blade across their face!
