Since I don't believe in the lottery and have never restored a razor before I thought I was out of options. I plan on getting one pretty soon.

I guess my main question was wether a shave ready straight would have such a hard time cutting my facial hair. does a straight simply glide down the skin and not snag on the hair or is that just a part of shaving that will not change no matter the tool at hand?

I have been shaving for only 2 years and the greater part was with the hair shaper. I just ask the more senior members to forgive and understand my ingorance.

My cartridge razor and my DE used to "snag" on the hairs. The straight kinda clicks? pops thru hair... Makes a sound like buttering toast.. but none of the pulling that you are used to in modern razors...
