Tell us a little bit more about what you want out of a shave. for instance, my reasoning for liking straight razors is that I thoroughly believe that the modern world sacrifices quality for convienance, especially in the shaving department, and also that Gilletes have gotten so expensive.

so If Im spending twenty dollars on six razor cartridges each of which last me a week (If Im lucky) then an eighty dollar Dovo pays for itself in about six months. Now the only problem with this analogy is that Straight Razors are ADDICTIVE. Some folks on this forum spend more on shaving soap than I do on Food per year.

So why do YOU want to shave with a straight razor?
