i got one for free in the mail and figured, what the heck ill give it a try.

it was actually pretty smooth! probably the smoothest shave ive ever had...so far.

i just bought my straight razor off ebay where the guy said it was shave ready. i got a strop with some paste...sharpened it. i think its pretty sharp but i still feel it more than the mach 5. the mach 5 felt like i was wiping shaving cream off with a squeegee. when i use the straight razor i can hear and feel it cut every single hair..it leaves me face slightly red.

it seemed pretty sharp to me already, im guessing i need to get it sharpened. im probably going to mess up if i try to hone it myself...so where can i go to get it sharpened...and does it sound like i should?
