Hey,
I signed up three (3) years ago and then grew a beard and simply forgot about this website. :/ I shaved occasionally in the summer with a DE, but I never quite gave up on the idea of a straight razor. I am not much into the wet shaving scene, I just want a way to shave that doesn't entail cartridges. I could use a DE or SE, but I just don't get much out of it. I LOVE the razors. I own a BBS-1 and Wolfman WR1 OC/SB, PH Weber, Fatboy, Super Slim and AS-D1. I used to own most of the Pils-style iKon DE razors as well (sold them). But...what is the point of owning something you don't want to really use?
So, I am back (again) looking at straights. I like the look of straight razors, but I see them more as tools versus eye candy like my safety razors. It looks like it is time to jump ship and switch to straights.
