YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THE CLUB!!! I bought a cheapo shavette from a local beauty supply store just t try before I plunged into str8s. With no experiance I proceeded to shave with it and draw a little blood. Not as much as I expected. After getting str8s and using them for a while I decided to give the shavette another try and with the techniques I learned I was able to get a really good shave with it. I use it every so often when I want to mix things up. That along with my str8s and a couple of de razors I can keep those wiskers guessing at what weapon I am going to use to DESTROY them!!! No matter what I use I still enjoy it a lot more than the fusion and canned goo I used to use.
