I'm new here. I've been frustrated with the multi-blade disposables for years, they tug and pull no matter how new the razor. I started using the single "precision trimmer" blade on the back of some disposables like the Fusion ProGlide to shave with because even the "thinner" blades still tug and pull. I guess I decided its time to stop shaving with that tiny trimmer and get a straight razor because that's basically what I'm doing now anyway with the trimmer, atleast in theory. Plus those new snap-on heads are like $4 each!
Anyone else ever used the trimmer to shave or am I the only one?
I've been reading about the big learning curve associated with straight razors. Years ago I went camping and forgot my shave kit, out in the mountains all I had was a sharp pocket knife and some water. I shaved with that and it sucked but I got the job done. Can straight razor shaving be any worse than that?
