Hi peeps!,

A nice gentleman commented on my intro topic something to the effect of 'when you can afford it, upgrade from a shavette to a straight razor', so I have a couple of questions,

1.) Is a straight razor really that much more effective?
2.) With the shavette, one gent said that I should hold it nice and flat as i shave (have been having major problems getting it to cut anything), is there anything else?
3.) Are there any affordable places in SE brisbane to get this gear from? Currently I go to the place in mount gravatt.

Cheers!
