Hello from Michigan
Hello All,
My name is Spiro. I am an Undergraduate Microbiology Major at Michigan State University. When I first started shaving, I used a cheap electric shaver. However, I quickly switched over to cartridge razors like the Gillette Fusion because the electric shaver couldn't give me the clean shave I wanted. I have since found out that I have very sensitive skin and very tough, corse facial hair. With this combination, cartridge razors left my face cut up and covered in razor burn no matter what I tried.
I started shaving with a Straight Razor last week, and so far, the experience is infinitely better. I have used it for full shaves several times already with great results. In all my shaves so far I have had no razor burn and only one or two nicks total between them all, so I am very happy so far with Straight Razor shaving as a whole. WTG shaves have been going flawlessly. When I do XTG or ATG it seem to be much tougher. There is a lot more tugging and resistance here, as apposed to the WTG where the razor glides easily down my face. While I feel this is probably pretty normal, I think there is more tugging on the XTG and ATG shaves then there should be. Does anyone have any thoughts here?"A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out."
