Welcome. I would say go for it. I started DE and str8 around the same time. Although I can get a consistent bbs shave with the de I use str8s 90 percent of the time. I have been able to get bbs with str8s but even when I don't, I think its more fun to use that de razors.

Welcome to SRP, Mike.
I also started on a DE ( 7+ yrs) before switching to a SR last year. I still like to use the DE for minor touchups and when traveling.
Enjoy the shaves in Beantown.You can take the boy out of NY, but you can't take NY out of the boy.

You're like me. I solved a lifetime of shaving problems with a DE, but couldn't let well enough alone.
