1) I love DTC. Great service and I haven't ever had a bad experience. 2) I shave daily with straight razors. 3) I have not tried this product.
Shaving with a straight can be a great experience, but be careful of this one. I highly recommend doing some research at
Straight Razor Place - Welcome to Straight Razor Place before purchasing this razor and expecting a great shave. It takes a true craftsman to get a straight razor "shave ready". Even very expensive razors aren't "shave ready" out of the box. Unless a razor is expertly honed, you will have a miserable experience.
My goal here is not to denegrate DTC or this product, but to ensure you don't end up with a terminal case of razor burn and that a bad experience with this product doesn't give straight razor shaving a bad rep.
