Prior to shaving with a str8, I've used an electric, disposables, and a Mach3. I have never used a DE. Have any of you used a DE for the first time after using a str8? Other than just to change things up by using a different razor, what has been your experience with using a DE after having shaved with a str8? I'm trying to determine whether it's worth the investment to buy a DE and blades or to just stick with using a str8 which I enjoy using. Since using a str8 for 5 months, I like not having to buy cartridges or more disposables any more.

Thanks,
Rob
