I am a dreamer.

Gotta love a woman with a plan! Just make sure he doesn't start poaching YOUR razor. Good luck Ellie.

I have to admit it, I did convert because JoeD was using one. Took me a good 9 months after he started to gather up enough courage to do so. I did convert to a DE shortly after he started with the straight razors. He dug out his dad's superspeed for his then 13 yr old son to shave with and I started using it also. Blades for it were much less expensive than the venus razor I was using. Now JoeD's son is shaving with a str8 while he is with us on the weekends. He did take one of his DE's home to his mother's to shave with during the week. She wasn't thrilled with us giving him "somebody's dirty old razor" to shave with so I can just imagine what she would do if we sent him home with a st8!

Maybe one of these days when I really want to aggravate her to the max

I started st my SO-at-the-time's urging, but he wasn't using straights yet. I haven't converted the current partner, and doubt I will... he's mighty stubborn.

LOL just as mine (and he's got a solid steel plate growing)!
Currently I'm working on my brother instead.

I am in the process of converting. My SO started SR shaving 13 days ago w/the Dovo I got him. He now owns 8 SRs 6 ot them are restore projects. He bought me a DE Gillette today. I just finished cleaning it and it looks new! He has to use it till his Dovo gets back (chipped it on the fosset) along with the new one he just ordered. He said he will never be w/out a SR again.

I want to SRS but he is stingy and will never let me use his, so I wait. I have my DE and will give it a go ASAP.
