Shaving with a Quatro, or Mach 3 will tear up my face because I shave with a Straight Razor? I was thinking about this when I got up this morning for some reason. With a Str8, (Don't hang me here) you do multiple passes for BBS, XTG, ATG, etc...i nomally do two passes because of my beard. I never did that back when I was shaving with a Mach 4, I remember getting a decent shave. For me, The Straight Razor is Nostalgic. I remember watching my Grandfather later up his brush and go at it. I remember him taking me to the Barber, He'd get a shave, Sometimes the barber would Hot Towel me, Lather me and pretend to shave me. They were very nice. So, for me, I have fond memories and enjoy stropping my blade and shaving. It brings me back.
