My first shave ever was with a straight.
But it was administered by a barber.

As I wait for my first straight to be delivered, I sometimes imagine how I would hold them
to shave different parts of the face and neck.

It kinda occurred to me that it seems far easier for someone else to use a straight on you
than it is for you to use it on yourself?

Would you agree with that notion?

And if so, were straights invented primarily for barbers to use....and then adapted
my men to shave themselves?

I now it probably sounds outrageous but I had to ask?
