Well, considering the areas that the Amish shave, I'm not surprised they don't use straights. I had thought it was just under the nose, but Tony mentioned a bit on the cheeks as well. If I chiefly shaved under my nose, I don't know if I would choose a straight either. I would probably choose a DE. That's right, I said it. D. E.

Going completely off topic, but being that they are against anything technological, I can't think of anything other than a straight that they would use.
