Thanked: 3228Yea, that sounds about right for the number of shaves out of a DE blade, at least for me it is. Was just wondering if the shaves were not good with a DE and that was the reason for wanting to try a straight.
Plenty of good advise from previous posters already so I won't repeat it. Just be aware of the long learning curve and frustrations you will encounter when you first start out using a straight. You likely will not get the same level of shaves in the first week as you did with a DE.

Well, I can't wait for the big "shave" in Asheville. Probably get some good tips and maybe pick up some products. I'm going to stop by one of our local antique shops tomorrow just to see what's available in vintage straight razors.

Well, I went to my local antique shop today bought an old straight razor. Now I just need to get it honed (and learn how to use it). There's a picture of it in "My Album". I don't know how to post it yet.
