Last night I needed a shave before going to bed for the night and didn't feel like fooling with a str8, so I plopped a fresh Derby in my HD and went to town. Wadda ya know; a nice smooth face in no time at all. This morning after I showered I grabbed my str8 and gave it a few licks on the Swaty, and a few laps on the strop. I looked at the razor in my hand, shrugged, and put it away. I lathered up, picked up the HD and got a nice close shave in nearly no time, with no irritation. I can't see myself giving up on str8's, but I'm not tossing out my HD either.
Ken.
