Funny, since I remember those shaves being a lot closer in the old days....

    My point is that the skills we learn when using a straight (beard mapping, pre/post care, stretching etc) are very much transferrable to other forms of shaving as well - most successfully when using a DE as a SR alternative IMO.

    If you fly and carry on and you don't have time to hunt down DE Blades it's back to the M3 for you. I cling to everything else, taking a shave stick and travel brush. The shaves are better than "before" but you notice the diff at the finish (no hope of BBS) and 12 hours out (why of course i shaved today!)

    I think if I flew and had to carry on I would just let it grow and enjoy the shave when I come back. Though I'm not in a position where I need to be clean cut on a daily basis.
