Prove me wrong but it just seems to be that people want it to be better. Or is it just that everyone finds it more fun using one even if it isnt as good? Not trying to be abusive, i'd be thankful for any feedback. Thanks

Hi Adam,

Actually you're not using a straight, you're using a disposable (albeit one that bears some resemblance to a straight) and since I've never used one of those , I can't really comment on its performance in your hands. As to trying to prove you wrong, how can we? This is a talkboard not real life, all we can show you is the consensus of this board and the reasoning behind that. If you're happier with the shave you were getting with whatever you were using before and find that your experience contradicts the consensus and reasoning of most (all?) of us here, carry on using whatever you were before.
