Are you serious? By then Gillette will have a flux capacitor in the handle of their razors; the mindless masses will, once again, be sucked into the vortex

Ya never know. I bet there's a lot of people out there that think straights don't even exist anymore. If they knew that they did, maybe there would be a lot more users of one.

It takes a great leap of faith , to put that insanely sharp blade against your face for the first time , and try to shave with it . Every guy that I've talked to about it , has no interest in trying a straight razor . I agree with Utopian , it's a small niche market , and will stay that way .

Maybe it will, or maybe some famous person will be seen using one and will generate even more popularity, or at least consideration.

I didn't think of that . You make a good point , and I agree , that it could happen .

Yeah, now the only question is, who?
