Gentlemen, today's shave was sweet, using a combination of the straight and the double edge razors. The straight is one of my lighter razors that is easier to handle. It was the shave that mattered, really. The great composer Robert Schumann said, "The esthetic experience is the same in any art; only the materials differ."
