I started shaving with a straight purely as an experiment. I'd seen so many conflicting views about how easy/difficult, safe/dangerous, expensive/cheap it can be, so I wanted to find out for myself what the hell all the kerfuffle was about.

That, and I always reckoned shaving with a freaking KNIFE is just awesome. So I had to try it out. I always admired straight-razors. So I took the dive.

So far, I have discovered that straight shaving is easy/difficult, safe/dangerous, expensive/cheap, so I'm happy.
