A couple a weeks ago we had a thread on what is considered a close shave and it got me thinking. This week I have had some fun with this and would be interested to see what you guys think.

I have been trying to compare shaving with my usual straight razor against a Mach 3 and DE. So........I shaved half my face with the straight and half with a Mach 3 and a DE on 2 occasions.

Both times the straight razor side of the face was virtually sticky smooth after the shave and an application of some balm. With the DE, it was pretty close to this. With the Mach 3 it was smooth, but not sticky smooth.

I then waited two hours and compared the feeling on both sides of the face again just by running my fingers up and down the face.

I can tell why I like the straight so much better. Actually for hours after the shave, there is this wonderful smooth feeling that seems to last most of the day for me. With the other razors, that feeling is not near the same within a few hours.

This was fun. Any of you guys try something like this??
