I've been a DE/SE shaver for quite a while now without too much of an acquisition disorder, but I've always been straight razor curious. As of today I've officially shaved twice with the straight. I'm saving the straight razor for weekends and days off for now due to the amount of time required to insure I don't lop off an ear or my nose. Currently shaving with a Whipped Dog sight unseen... Since I don't really have a frame of reference, I can't compare it to anything but the DEs. First shave was nowhere as smooth as I could get with the DEs or the Micromatic OC, but second shave was much better. Looking forward to improving my technique.
