    I am still working on technique and its taking a bit what feels smooth dose not remove all of the hair what removes all of the hair is rough. A sampler pack is on my list along with a DE but one day I want to go to a full on straight razor. I just have to get my skin ready for it because for the last 9 years I have been using an electric razor for most of my shaving.

    I think that you will see an improvement
    with your DE. If I remember correctly the
    shavette used to get a lot of bad press on
    the forums. It was labeled aggressive and
    users cut themselves frequently.

    In no time at all you will be starting a thread
    " My First Straight Shave ".

    I hope it is far better than my experience with the shavette because I see a lot of blood with it.

    The shavette seems more of a
    shaving contraption than a shaving
    instrument.

    As far as the DE and straight goes if
    the rest of us can do it so can you.

    I have to ask:

    . . . Why does a Dreadnaught Spartan cost twice as much as a EJ DE89 ?

    If I were going to spend that much on a DE razor, I'd want either an adjustable, or one in stainless steel. But I'm cheap.

    I really don't know why it is $70 maybe they marked it up as a "premium product" to target people that like to say this bad boy cost me $$$.
