I bought a straight razor so I could ween myself off disposable blade and save money. Because I thought $22 dollars was to much for 5 cartridges. I did it to save money and stick it to the man.......save money......? I have over twenty razors, 6 strops, mugs and scuttles, 4 brushes more soaps then I can count and a list of hones that I can't even remember that I have. So much for the saving money
