Thanks guys for the help. I was really wanting to try the folder 1st but I may give the Kamisori a go. I can't find a CJB or Sam Seong in a folding style. I might post a WTB add and see whats out there. I will keep you posted on what happens. My everyday shaver right now is a Merkur Progress with Astra Plat. blades. I know how to shave with a straight and still do on occasion but the maintenance level is just too high with 2 small children and life in general. This just looks like a great compromise plus I haven't tried any new hardware in over a year so the RAD is itching.
