I don't like shaving at all. If I shave twice in a given week, I have spent too much time shaving. I shave with a straight only because I like sharp tools and weapons. I don't think it is any better than shaving with a disposable cartridge thing. In fact, it is much more effort and I doubt the results are good enough to be "worth the effort". I simply enjoy the care and feeding of the razor. I do the same restorative work on hatchets.
