Thread: Sharpness of Hair After Shave

My shaves are great, and smooth. But... after the beard does grow back, my wife maintains the growth has a sharper edge than before with safety razors. If true, I guess this would mean the straight shaved the hair off at a sharper angle than safety razors.

I searched, and couldn't find any comments on this aspect. Sounds suspect to me. Anyone heard this before?

I had a girlfriend who said the exact opposite. Regrowth was softer.
I think you'll get a lot of differing opinions on this one.

I feel NO difference in the texture or sharpness of the growth, just that I get a closer shave and the shadow takes longer to appear.

Maybe you should test her. Shave on random days with the Straight Razor and Cartridge for a week or two, then let her guess every day which one you used, the prior day (before you shave again). If she guessed right most of the time, she might just have a point.

I like the idea of the double blind study! A scratch test if you will.

I really think she's a very confused woman. But, even tho embarrassed even asking, thought I'd ask.

Shave one side of your face with a safety and the other side with the straight. Ask her which side is sharper and feel for yourself.

Odd, my wife says the exact opposite and I side with her. My stubble seems to be softer with the straight. Maybe it's from me being a newb and not shaving it good enough. LOL

I hae noticed that my beard comes back much darker and the stubble is a little more sandpaper like. The cool thing though is that the regrowth comes back real even. The stubble also takes less time to grow back. I can shave every other day with my straight and get away with it.
