When i started down this straight razor path* my plan was to use my DE during the week and only use the straight when i had plenty of time on the weekend.

Well.. For some reason the move from DE to straight has been a lot easier than i thought. I get a shave just as close as my DE with less passes and zero irritation.

I'm not getting BBS(no ATG yet), but i am actually getting closer shaves on some of the areas i had issues with on the DE(Jawline especially). Only area not closer is neck, because i have not gotten brave enough for ATG yet.

But yeah... it takes me between 20-30 minutes to shave with the straight doing 1 atg, 1 xtg, 1xtg the other direction on jawline/neck.

I have been wondering if i will ever shave with the DE again for a reason other than boredom or maybe it is better for travel?

* i have been using the straight for less than a week
