Looking for advise for the wise - DE or Straight?
Hi all, My name is shaun,
I am new to the world of "proper" shaving. after using walmart sale products i just started using a brush and a DE (gillette w/ feather blades). its great, but not all that I was hoping.
I want to try using a straight edge, but i cant understand if/and why the shave is closer w/ a straight edge versus a DE? I tried to google why but no luck. Is it simply the material in the blade, and if so why is the feather AC's (disposable) just as comparable to a carbon steel blade om most straight edges?
I hate to say it but after all my research it just seems to be a macho/cool thing to use a straight blade? - I really hope a veteran here can help prove me wrong - as I really would like to find a reason to drop 250 bucks on one of these cool blades.:gl:
thanks,
