I just began straight razing a month ago. I messed up my first razor with bad stropping and had to send it in for a new edge. I ordered a second razor to use in the meantime, but I had a day or two while the second razor was in transit. So I got desparate and used my disposable razor and have never had more razorburn in my life. It also happened the next day and was terrible. I vowed to never shave with one again! Once you get the straightrazor shaving down you're gonna love it.
