I hope you learned your lesson young man! Once you go straight, it's hard to go back to shaving with those sub-par cheek graters. When I had to go back to a DE for a few days, it made me really appreciate the SR so much.

I don't think I could use a DE even if I wanted to, they look scary to me lol.
At least you know how much you appreciate it now, that's a good feeling!

I should clarify I occasionally use a DE and enjoy it when i don't screw up, BUT it simply does not work if I have too many days of growth, which for my fast growing beard=about 4 days...

I used to do well with my DE. A couple months ago I tried to shave for the first time in over a year. It was a joke. I've completely lost the technique. I'm now faster, closer and safer with a straight.

In the interest of time and variety, I did likewise this morning on a Gillette TTO adjustable set to 9. It was a great shave and silly easy. I guess it's like riding a bike, you don't forget it once you've done it. Having said that, nothing beats the straight experience.

I never enjoyed a DE. Don't really know what I'll do if I get too shaky to use a straight. Sport a mountain man type beard I suppose.

I use a DE from time to time, I get unpleasent shaves from it sometimes and others great. The problem is that I'm so accustomed to using a straight that using a DE is so different! Even when I get a decent shave with a DE it's not nearly as pleasurable as using a straight.
