Mom-Fri I use straights and on weekends I'll use my Edwin Jagger D89. I also use the EJ89 for clean ups after SR shaving.

Once while traveling, I took a multi-blade disposable so I wouldn't have to worry about leaving a razor behind and such. The first morning I shaved with the disposable, I used my usual cream (the same I use for SR shaving) along with my brush and I realized that I shave terrible with a disposable. So now when I travel, I'll take my DE and it's still not quite as good as my SR, but better than the disposable.
I just started using straights and when I sent out my new razor to be sharpen I picked up a DE until the straight was ready...I can't do cartridges again.
I haven't shaved with anything but a straight razor in about 2 years. Don't own any other kind of razors, no DE's, no disposables, no electric. Well that's not true - I have an electric for body hair haha
I'll shave with a straight 6 days a week. When traveling I will take a schick injector.
I have a question? I see in some posts that I read that when someone travels they don't take their straight..Why is that ? Could it be a time issue ?
Usually an airport pain in the backside, especially when only taking carry on luggage, and the risk of losing it to not so honest baggage handlers when taking checked luggage.

That makes that clear, I don't fly anymore because of so much steel in me..sets off their alarms and I refuse to be stripped.. And I don't even know what's permissible anymore. Thank you for taking time Mick and sharing...
Shaving with a straight razor is addictive. I rarely use a DE, but I always keep one loaded up and handy for those occasional days when I oversleep.
