I rarely get that reaction from people. When it comes up in conversation I find most people are fascinated to learn that there are still a large number of straight razor users, and have lots of questions about wetshaving.

Of course, from there the reaction is typically "that's really neat, but I don't think it's for me."

I don't believe I've ever had anyone make me feel as if I were in some sort of a cult, or make me feel uncomfortable about using a straight razor.
