Hi Chaps,
As you all know im a Funeral director here in old blighty and I thought it would be awesome to change the razors in the mortuary to straights. Ok I know this subject may be taboo but I have no wish to upset anyone by opening this discussion up, I just wanted to let you all know that I have used a straight on several clients and had one family tell me that their Grandfather had never looked so good and after I told them what razor I had used they smiled and told me he would of loved it!

I have now taught the razor basics to my staff and its going down a treat! there are some issues mind you but my clients get the full treatment of a heated towel soak, proraso shaving cream etc I do not skimp on the shaving process! and I have found that the straights get into corners and areas that most conventional razors fail to do often leaving a client with a little stubble or patches in places.

I just wanted to share this, I know it will come across as weird and a bit morbid but my intention is to show that a straight razor has a place still in this modern world and that some of my staff after a bit of show and tell are now looking into getting a straight for home use, so I may have converted a chap or too at my yard.
