Although I guess the whole "time"'factor would have played into it as well. Now that I have a couple of months into it I am getting crazy BBS smooth shaves now. I used to shave every day but when I get a really great shave I easily go every other day shaves simply because with how close a shave I get it takes that much more time for it to grow out to be noticed. Now that I really can't see myself ever going to another shaving method I really wonder? Why did we ever get away from SR.?

These things were the IPhone or VCR of their time I would imagine. You have to evaluate their worthiness based on the context of time they were invented in. I don't think straight razors will ever return to the stage they once enjoyed but to the individual who chooses it's value over modern accoutrements, I think the craft tips it's hand to those who posses an "old soul". My grandfathers straight edge sitting in its holder when I was a youngster told me a lot about that man without saying anything.

Man, I sure hope the power never goes out in your store!
