Hi folks,

I've been using a straight for about two months, or so. Things are going well.
However there are days when I need to take less time shaving, and for those days I end up turning back to my dreaded Mach 3.

The resulting shave is quite uncomfortable, even with fresh blades. The most recent time, I felt like my face had been through the ringer afterwards. The discomfort and irritation were contributing reasons to my search for alternatives to the cartridge.

I'm thinking a DE would be a good compromise. Less "dangerous" than a speedy straight shave, but still allowing me to get a decent shave quickly.

So all this said, I'm looking for a recommendation on which DE to purchase. I'd be a DE newbie, and seeing as I wouldn't be using it frequently (less than once a week), it would have to be reasonably priced. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance
