I shave evelook forwardryday. My job requires I am clean shaven. One of the reasons I went to the straight is I have a havy beard and went through blades like kids go through candy. Ive come to look forward to my morning shave. Get it right and my day is set. Get it wrong well its still a good day. Not many people I know use a straight razor. The litttle nicks(and not so little) I wear as a badge of honor.
