If you want to simulate what that would be like in a safer manner buy a shavette, which is made like a safety razor, and uses DE blades that are snapped in half. Still not a true straight razor shave but at least using the tool as it was meant to be used. IMHO.
Good idea! never saw one before believe it or not...can I use regular DE blades and break them in half? How does one do that is a safe manner?

Thanks!!
