Tried straights, wondering if DE would be more my style?
Hey guys,
A quick question for you all. I've been using straights for a while now and have gotten fairly proficient at shaving without slicing my face up :). I do still have problems on my chin (Kirk Douglas cleft chin) but for the most part I can get satisfactory results. Unfortunately, I had a honing disaster that really makes me not want to send razors out anymore, plus a good straight shave takes more time than I can spare in the morning. Would I be better off using a DE? I'm guessing it's a little quicker than a straight and I would be able to replace blades vs sending my razor off to be honed. How long does the blade last in DE razors? I can get a couple of weeks out of the cheapy disposable cartridge shavers, would a DE blade last a similar amount of time? Thank you for your views on this, just trying to figure out a good compromise :)
Cheers,
Stew
