My name is Michael, and i am with the U.S. Army currently stationed in Fort Campbell, KY. Home is in Point Pleasant, WV. I am interested in learning to use a straight razor for a few reasons. First just for the nastalgics of it... I like things that are old fasioned! Also, I have heard you get the best shave out of this method.... I use a tripple blade razor right now, and just wiz through it to get it done, but unless I spend 10 mins or so actually caring I dont get a GREAT shave... though I can go 2 days and squeak by without having to shave for the Army! Wondering if a cheap ($25 from Amazon) setup with disposable blades, soap, and brush is ok to atleast learn the basics before jumping to an actual blade and spend the $$ on one with having to sharpen and keep an edge on.... Thanks in advance for any other advice! Oh and the only reason Im goin through Amazon is I have a gift card ballance from Swag Bucks!
