I use a disposeable straight blade one (think in mentioned that before) its a sanguine x-d20 probably not really worth selling. Do non-disposeable straight razors shave better? I was thinking about maybe getting one. I got this one first so i could try it and see if i liked it.
I do difinately enjoy using straights more, theres an art to it. But it takes longer and seems to give if anything worse results!
Thanks for the replys. I mainly asked cus i want it to be better! so if anyone can convince me id b very greatful.

There is a learning curve with a straight razor that involves proper preparation, lathering, skin stretching and razor manipulation. The razor itself should be honed by a bona fide honemiester until you acquire the skills if you ever want to hone your own. I would suggest you get a straight honed by a pro listed in the SRP classifieds and go from there. In the newbies corner there is a "read this first" post and in the general area videos to give you a head start.
