About to go back for good to Straight Disposable Single Edge ...
My background can be found in this post: http://straightrazorpalace.com/membe...ml#post1068112
By now, I've bought a brand new Dovo Bismarck (superiorshave) and a pair of Friedr. Baurman & Soehne (member Milkylee SRP). All three came shave ready and did pass the HHT.
The problem is I don't like shaving with a str8rzr; I much prefer my cheapy Parker SR1 with disposable Shark blades. I find the disposable SEs MUCH SHARPER than the str8rzrs (I guess that's been confirmed numerous times in this forum as well as others). I shave half of my face with the str8rzrs and reluctantly but predictably I finish with the Parker with disposable SEs.
I need help.
I am reading people's statements that a str8rzr shave is more "comfortable".
Can someone explain to me, from a mere physical standpoint, how it is possible to have a more "comfortable shave" from a blade which is not as sharp as the disposable SE blade?
Is it all subjective? Do I need more time?
Thanks.

Go with what works for you. You're not doing this for anyone else, so if the shavette type razors give you comfortable shaves then stick with them.
