I am very close to getting a DE Razor, for those times when a straight razor isn't practical - overnight in a motel, injury, mad rush etc.

I will wait another week or so before actually pushing the button because it's next day delivery so I can afford to chew it over.

I don't want to spend a lot on my first DE Razor and won't be using it often except for a week or so when it arrives to get the hang of it.

I am thinking of the Rockwell R1 for $20 Canadian with free shipping because I have Amazon Prime.

I have also been reading reviews on blades, it seems a lot of people rate Astra, Feather was very popular but some said that they are almost too sharp. I kind of think as straight users there probably any such thig as too sharp.

Anyway I would be interested in your thoughts on the razor I am thinking of and what blades you prefer.

I don't really want a sampler because I don't want to use it for that long regularly.

Me likee straights.
