After eight months and lots of $$ spent on trying to shave with a traditional straight, I'm about to throw in the towel. I've been shaving successfully with a feather straight since Februrary and to be honest, it has totally ruined DE's and most GEMs. Nothing comes close to shaving my face like the feather. When I try a traditional straight, it hurts. No cuts to my skin, but hair being yanked out of my face rather than cut. The last straw is a beautiful Dovo which was sent shave ready. OUCH!

I can't afford any more time or money into this. I'd love to be able to enjoy a traditional straight, but I'm at the end of the line.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
