    I have used the term "Straight Shaver" and "Wet Shaver". It worked, but doesn't roll off the tongue.

    I would say smart
    Although not every one would agree I guess

    In dutch, there is no real use of the term shaver.
    A straight razor is described as a classic open razor. So the sentence to turn people away is, I shave with a classic open razor.

    Classic shaver sounds very nice to me...

    Sometimes I feel normal.
    Then it's time to lay down and wait for it to pass.

    Yup, I used to work out in a university gym and had a locker where I kept a seven day set of razors. One day I was at one of the sinks shaving when an older gentleman came in and pronounced, quite loudly, "GOOD GOD, A STRAIGHT MAN!"
