I found a barber in town that gives SR (disposable blade) shaves for only five bucks. I visited with him and he said he would use a real straight if I brought one in for him. Accodring to him in our state SR sahves aren't banned just discouraged. He siad he doesnt use real straights on customers because he doesnt ever want the customer to worry about blood borne pathogens. Anyway, I thought $5 was a pretty good deal for a SR shave.
