After watching many YouTube videos and reading many post I decided to go to THE ART OF SHAVING store to pick up my first safety razor... I initially wanted to pick up a safety razor and a straight razor but they were all out of there dovo 5/8 for 100 everything else was out of budget if I did not learn to shave lol so got the merkur long handle safety along with a starter kit cream brush etc.. Got home shaved loved it... I do not have much of a beard but maintain a chin strap look was wondering how does a straight razor compare to a safety in getting a crisp line on angles ... Also I had tried a (cheap) shavette and was very difficult felt like my hands were fumbling around... Alls I know is cartridge shaving is a thing of the past for me :-)
