Hello, SRP. I've been considering switching to straight razors for some time and have done the due research (much of it here - kudos on the site and community) but one big question remains: how well can a straight razor handle a few days growth/a short beard? With my grooming habits, a primary SR benefit would that my beard wouldn't have to be trimmed pre-shave so I'd like to get some input on this before I commit to a razor and accessories.

Many thanks,
ctp
