I normally get strange looks when i tell people about it. That's ok. I understand it does sound unusual! A lot of the problem is ignorance, i think - most people have the false perception that straight razors are dangerous to shave with. Movies like Sweeney Todd do little to help that perception.

On the positive side, i have had a few people show genuine interest. I lent my spare straight to a workmate who was interested, so i'm super keen to hear back about his experience with it! My best friend is also going to let me give him a straight shave on his wedding day.
