Did Mantic59 give up on straights?
It was maybe six months ago that Mantic popped up looking to find some gear in the hopes of making some straight shaving videos. Haven't seen him since....anybody hear from him? Did he give up the straight?

That's funny red, I had that exact same thought a couple days ago and was going to post about it myself. I do think it's safe to assume that he did not take to straight razor shaving in any kind of significant way.

No, I haven't given up.
I have had some serious delays though: I haven't been able to devote nearly as much time to learning the subtleties of straight technique as I had hoped. I'm basically limited to weekends when I have the time. I'm not giving up though--there's still quite a bit of interest from my "viewers" (I often suggest SRP to those who ask me questions about straight razor shaving).

i've noticed comments in his videos of people asking him about his straight usage.. i think the general consensus is that he is waiting to become more than proficient before posting any videos on the subject.

Great to see you back, Mark. I was hoping that you didn't give up on SR shaving. I suppose I should never assume..... Originally Posted by mantic

Hi Mantic/Mark, Shangas here.
I do hope you make some videos on straight shaving like you do with DE shaving, they're very very helpful.

Hey Mantic! Whereabouts do you live? Odds are that someone would gladly volunteer to give you added assistance in person.

Yes, several people have volunteered. Its a matter of scheduling. Originally Posted by Utopian
