Hey, JS. There's part of this approach that will bear fruit all over. Certainly your technique will improve w/ the str8. What may not come to mind is that by learning the technique of the str8 - every razor you use will give you better shaves. The technique of the str8 is just sound technique for any shaving. DE, shavette, (gag) cartridge - you'll get better shaves because you really learned how to shave. Should you go further into the regular str8, I hope you have some friendly members in your area that will let you try their gear - so you don't have to buy & sell alot to discover what you like best. Should your travels bring you near Portland, hollar. 'Come try some of mine. Keep going - you're on a very productive path.
