I'm sure that I will be interested in trying safety razors in the future anyway, perhaps when I'm short on time or taking a quick trip out of town. My only concern is the fact that I've never used one, and I'm not sure I should add any variables as I learn to use a straight razor- I certainly wouldn't want to hinder/lengthen this process!
