Thanks for replying everyone. I know I won't be able to get BBS shaves on my first or probably even my 50th shave. I really love the feeling of the razor on my skin and that suction feeling the blade creates and I'm thinking a straight razor will give me even more of that feeling. One question, I know that shaving with a straight (after you have the technique down) will give you the best possible shave, but if DE blades are sharper, wouldn't shaving with an aggressive DE razor give you a closer shave than a straight?
