Thanks for the welcome. I'm on a very tight budget at the moment so we shall see how it holds up for now. I currently am using 2 blade Costco disposables with a nice soap I found a few years ago my wife lovingly bought a dozen or more of. I am returning to blades from the electric world since it needs new blades, battery, and they stopped carrying the cream designed for use in the built in dispenser. a straight seems like a new challange and a lost art I'd like to tackle. I'm have to modify my lifestyle a little as I am usually running late. I found a few blades on kijiji that look interesting not sure of their quality I'd assume being vintage blades they likely would need some care to get a shave at all if not a good shave. Might be an interesting challange.

Thanks
B
