Yes, the force is strong with this one. In all seriousness, I purchased my first straight in 2002., the Theirs-Issard Super Gnome. I attempted to use it, not realizing that a factory hone was not sufficient. It was not until about three years ago that I had it properly honed. What a difference! From that point forward I have not amassed a total of 19 straights and 3 shavettes, one of which is a kamosori type..

I obtained my current “first” DE razor, the Merkur 37c, in the mid 1990’s. I predominantly shave with this razor until three years ago when I start to add to my DE collection. Currently, I have 11 DE razors. Furthermore, I have added 5 Gem or Gem type razors and one injector razor.
This collection, small or large by some standards of the 30DC group, allows me to have variety in my shave approach. Prior, to my JustOneJuly theme, I was using my straights approximately 70% of the time. I enjoy the challenge, the concentration and the sense of accomplishment of this type of shave. I have attempted to incorporate more of the other razors this month.
