I'm buying my dear wife a new Kindle fire HD for Christmas, so she asked me what I wanted. The thing is, I'd like to try out a modern straight razor. I've only used vintage ones up to now, gladly putting up with the occasional hone wear, staining, light rust, loose pivots, and warped scales. All in the pursuit of vintage style and grace. Well, and cheap prices also. So on a Kindle fire budget, give or take, would you buy a modern straight? I really don't think the shaving experience would be better, so perhaps I'm looking for mainly aesthetic appeal?
