I'm from Utah. I was shown this site by Korben88. I just started using a safety razor this past Monday. I used to use a Gillette Fusion cartridge razor. Blah. After trying the safety razor I won't be going back to the cartridge junk. I use a Parker 90R butterfly razor. Started out with some Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream. I'm quite the fan. The TOBS cream is way better than the canned cream. I threw the can away.
I'm not daring enough to try a straight razor. Maybe some day.
