Randy, I speed read through a lot of the posts between here and the start. Remembering your question about nicks and cuts with a straight came back in mind. I shave with mostly a straight razor and about once or twice a week with a DE. For some strange reason I nick or cut myself more with the DE than with the straight. It might be because I am in more of a hurry and think I can whiz through the shave process. Either way I still think the straight razor gives you the best shave.
