Well, I agree that with correct technique, lather, etc... a mach 3 will shave really well.
And straights have a learning curve, and sharpness and stropping are significant challenges.
But for me, I find that I get much smoother shaves with a straight. I have a sensitive skin, and in order to get decent mach 3 shaves, I needed to replace the blade quite often.
I maintain my straights myself, so the cost is much smaller (primarily because I am not a collector).
But even if it was not the price or my skin, I simply enjoy shaving with a straight. It is my relaxing half hour, 3 times per week in the evening. It is my time then. And I enjoy every part of it. With a mach3 otoh, I regarded shaving as a chore.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
