Alan,

I have to wonder if after using either a straight or
DE for sometime if you would have to recondition
your face to a multi blade again? Could also be a
disposable is not as good as an actual cartridge?

I've used a straight now since January 28th. About
a month ago I went out of town for a couple of
days and took my DE, a 1956 Gillette Superspeed.
I shaved on the last morning before leaving for home.
I was using a Merkur blade and Proraso pre/post and
Proraso soap. When I made the first pass I thought I
had forgotten to put the blade in, it was that smooth.
