I'd play. My success rate isn't too great, but I am definitely hoping to have a net reduction of soap.
Wow this thread grows fast, I will have to catch later today. I will probably decide to keep both, they both easily produce fine edges. Just go for it and follow @Bama Samurai , the shavette Sensei's advice, "don't cut yourself'.
Out of focus: No time this morning for a straight and I wanted to try a gift from my Secret Santa, Williams Mug Shaving Soap. The Williams performed wonderfully, not as wet as I would like for a straight but great for DE, slick and allot cushion. The Joris is one of my favourite razors and loaded it with Gillette 7 O'clock Blue. Nice shave.

Thanks. I think Speick is as good or better than any cream I have used, but there aren’t very many of them to compare to. TOBS, Trumpers, Musgo... That may be it. It gives a great, smooth shave. I had a tube of it once before, and was convinced that it smelled exactly like Desitin. I decided to give it another try, and am finding it to be piney and spicy, and something. Whatever something is, I like it. Sorry for the abruptly ending post. I was so beat last night after work that I fell asleep on the couch in the hotel, in the middle of typing while I ate my supper. I found it like that this morning when I got up.
This is how routine and technique become invidually perfected. You're on to something with the mapping.
@Norcalnewb Pro tip two: Shavettes are identical to Straights in every way, until the user messes up.
I didn’t get it, until I looked her up and realized she was a Canuck. Yep, low blow. At first, I thought it was your backyard.
We can blame Avril for a lot of stuff. Keep it going and I'll bring up Nickelback. Yeah, I ain't proud, I will go there. Besides, chicks dig scars.
