I tried the SRD poly when I first started SR shaving a couple years ago. I did not like the feel or sound of the poly. I went to SRD linen and I like that feel and sound. I put the poly on another rig and have tried it a time or two as I have gotten better at stropping but have not been able to get that comfortable feeling with it. The sound of it gives me the creeps. I can just see my edge micro chipping into glitter on every stroke. It came down to sound first and feel second. Since I do not shave every day, once or twice a week, I do not think I have a year of real experience yet so I am far from expert.

A lot a great insight here. Thanks.
