My name is Jon, I've been shaving with the fusion cartridges (or similar), for 20 years. I've always wanted grouse a straight razor for the heritage of it as well as the chance to get a better shave. I recently picked up a Parker DE to make the transition(still to hesitant to put a st8 to my neck), and found using the DE wasn't nearly as scary Asti looked. With that's took the next step and purchased a Parker straight edge with replaceable blades from online. Both purchases were definitely lower end buys, but i wanted to make sure i wasnt getting in over my head at first.
With that said, using my new str8 i got the best shave ever. Virtually no razor bumps (technique needs to improve) and a long lasting shave. Now i'm on the search for a good quality straight razor to use daily. This forum seems like a wealth of information and collective knowledge that surely will help me in my journey!
