There are too many benefits to list when it comes to using a straight. For me at least, one stands way above the others. I have fought ingrown hairs since I first started shaving on my 12th birthday. My beard is so coarse that no electric could ever do more that modestly cut cheeks and my neck was just more than they could handle. Most of my life was spent wet shaving with disposables or carts. Ingrown hairs were the bane of my existence!!

This morning it hit me that since I started straight shaving, I could count the number of ingrowns on one hand and have fingers left over!

Thanks to all you guys here that helped inspire me!
