I keep seeing people make posts on one of the Facebook groups about how they got a brand new straight razor and just got the best shave of their life. Can anybody here really claim that? I've just started using a straight and can get a nice, clean shave on the easy areas. But after a couple of passes on the neck and chin, I do a little clean up with me DE to avoid the risk of weepers or burn.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if people really get the best shave of their life the first time they use a straight, I have to wonder how bad their prior shaves have been.
