I'm seeing some interesting demographics in the recent polls and thought I might as well post one of my own. Personally I have a few different reasons for shaving with a straight razor. First off, I think it's ecologically sound (no I'm not a damned hippie). Secondly, it seems to be considerably more cost-effective in the long run assuming you don't go hog wild on collecting razors. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this and if I don't have your reason in the poll, please post a response with your particular desire for this method of shaving.
