Thread: SR8 Heresy?

I've been shaving with straights since July. I tried a Parker shavette and a Weck with long Personna single edge blades and cut myself right up, before starting with regular straights. Now that I have my footing, you've got me motivated to try the shavettes again. I just put new blades in my Weck and Parker and will give it a go again in the morning.

Tried it again and still don't enjoy the shavette. Back to my straights.

My goodness I am really in trouble. Sometimes I shave with a DE (often use one to cleanup after a bad straight shave). It's easier and, in my case, I get a much better shave all the way around, closeness, irritation, speed. But I love the challenge of a straight, so most of the time I go with one. Does this mean I am out of the club also?
