Greetings shavers,

So far I've been straight shaving for about 4 months now, and has it been worth the ride!

I often stumble across small remarks about people saying that they pull out the DE if they are in a hurry. However I was wondering in what way would that really speed up the shave, since most of my time goes into the pre and after shave. Since I don't have extreme facial hair I get along with a XTG and a ATG then I'm smooth, takes me about 3 minutes I guess?

Now I bought a package of old barberstuff from a local antique store, contains all kinds of funny things, like old advertisements about soaps, brushes and hair which is really nice to see. It does also contain 2 straights and 4 DE's so I will probably give DE-ing a swing anyway to try it out sometime. Just interested in the major differences with a DE, will stick with the straight on the long term anyway

Thanks in advance
