Hi everyone,

I have been shaving with a DE for about seven years, the last five with a refinished Gillette New Long Comb with Bull handle. I love this razor but just can't shake the urge to try a straight. I have a pretty good idea what I am looking for but am having some trouble finding what my specific options might be. I wear a beard year-round, so I would like something relatively nimble. My current thought is to get either a folding 4/8 with a square point or a Kamisori-style. Either way, I would prefer a new razor and am open to a reputable custom designer if necessary. So, I have a couple of questions:

1) Although I have found a couple of (new) 4/8s, I have yet to find one with a square point. Any suggestions?
2) Other than an Iwasaki (which I am considering) are there any reputable Kamisori-style (western is fine) razors that I should look at?

I appreciate any guidance that you experts can give me.

Thanks,
MCN
