Gentlemen, I've decided to try my hand at DE shaving.

I did some light reading in the forums and decided to go with a Merkur 38C and some Derby blades from SRD, which should be delivered by this weekend. Honestly, I felt a bit traitorous placing the order.

The DE will be almost exclusively for head shaving. I use my straights to shave both my head and face currently, and the dome can be time consuming. More importantly, shaving my head seems to do a number on my edges and after many weeks of experimenting I've decided to just try a DE for comparison. It'll be easier to travel with as well, and maybe the wife might take an interest.

So are there any DE head shavers here? If so can you make a comparison to head shaving with a straight?

I'll post my shaving results when applicable. Cheers!
