Hey! It's excellent to see that someone else has used a straight razor since 18! Hopefully the disposable will at least have given you the angle you need to manage your first real straight. I've used a straight myself since I first stated shaving on account of the fact my grandfather who taught me hadn't even heard of a Mach3.

I have to admit that I have been cheating with safety razor for the last couple of years. As a lawyer I never seem to have time, but I'm back onto real shaving again, ordered a new straight and can't wait. I guess I am going to be a beginner too as I haven't used a real razor in years. Let us know how your new razor works out, I'm looking forward to reading it!

I agree, this is a great website!
