Johnny68,

+1 on that thought...In fact, I think that you'll find that you really don't want to use your multi-blade razor to shave, once you begin using a DE.

I switched to a DE before moving on the str8 razor shaving last December. While there is a learning curve for the DE, just like with a str8, it is not as lengthy. There is a whole series of videos on YouTube by Mantic59 which discusses and demonstrates the different types of DE razors and their use as well as how to create rich, creamy lather with a shave brush in either a shave bowl or mug.

Moreover, as has been stated, a DE is the next best thing to a str8 razor shave. Its closer, with less irritation to your face, and cheaper in the long-run.

Of course, all of us here at SRP hope that you will give serious consideration to taking the next step one day and using a str8 razor.

Take care...
