This - at first. By my dozenth shave I found the art of the DE not entirely without magic. Using a Slim Adjustable (setting #6, two passes MWF) I gradually stubbled into a high quality shave. Irritation though next to nil is not as comfortable as a straight. The smoothness thing is a matter of degree and not a DE deal breaker for me.

Yes. A slight nibble at the neck by sweat reminds me of giving up a DE razor long ago. No doubt I'm better at it now.
