I started shaving with a straight edge to save money cuz i was tired of spending money on those mach three razor blades. Then i brought a second razor, then i got my great grandpas razor, then i brought another strop. My biggest mistake was being a 7 razor box, so now i have to fill the box. Then i had to find the perfect shave soap, and the right shaving bowl. I got a big problem, but i am not complaining cuz i look forward to every shave, every since i picked up my first straight razor.
