    [QUOTE=johnramos3030;737534I often let my beard grow out for a week or two, and I am not sure how well a straight razor will take off that much growth... any ideas from other heavy-bearded members? [/QUOTE]

    A straight will usually take off quite a lot of beard with little or no trouble. winter of 09/10 I grew my bear out like Grizzly Adams, and when spring came I shaved it all off with a Frederick Reynolds wedge. IMO, heavy grinds are better for that kind of work.

    A straight razor is probably the best tool for removing a heavy beard growth. I also will let my beard grow for a week or two. It is easily removed by a straight razor with some "meat" to it.

    Despite owning boxes of razors that can be counted in the multiple hundreds, I went about 9 months this past year shaving with a single razor. YOU ONLY NEED ONE RAZOR, ONE BRUSH, ONE STROP, ONE HONE, and ONE SOAP. That is all you need.

    Only one razor? Where is the fun in that? You "need" as many as possible
