After having facial hair for some 12 years, a few weeks ago I decided a change of looks was in order since I had no shaving supplies I went to a salon for a shave, they used a shavette and the experience was awesome, it reminded me of when I was a young man in Cairo and went for a straight razor shave twice a week. I walked out of the salon into the closest Art Of Shaving, I was instructed that I should start with a DE razor followed by a shavette and eventually a straight. I got my supplies and used the DE for a couple of weeks and before I knew it I was back for that straight razor. It stayed in it's box for a week till I gathered up some courage, watched some YouTube videos. The first SR shave was pretty good I did one pass on both sides of my cheeks, progressed slowly and last night I even did my neck, for the final pass I use the DE, meanwhile I have acquired a second razor from the art of shaving and the third is on it's way from SRD.
