I have been shaving with a straight razor (a cheapo shavette with the 7 o'clock blades) for about a week and I had a pretty good shave this afternoon when I got in from college after an early start.

Anyway it just occurred to me that it would be pretty easy to test how good a shave I got, so I broke out the shaving cream and my Gillette Mach 3 'fusion' (the 5 blade wet razor that vibrates) and had a shave.

I'm happy to report I did not shave a single hair off my face, not that I could see at least and my face feels the same.

There really is something to this straight shaving lark. Really looking forward to get my 'proper' one.
