    with DEs that is.

    I just like the shave of the wedges and SEs and str8s better.

    YMMV of course.

    I will now start working my way through the murky mire that is the world of str8s.

    Cheers

    I doubt I'll ever give up DE shaving... Str8 and SE in all honour, but the simplicity of a DE shave and the FatBoy... nah... DE is forever!

    Don't get me wrong DEs are nice. SEs and the others are just well, better.

    YMMV of course.:cool:

    Yeah I heard that too. I also heard the Monkey was done as well. I think those rumors have been greatly exaggerated.
     
  9. You've made a wise choice... just keep your styptic pencil handy. :D

    As my skills improve, I am liking straights more and more, but I still LOOOOVE my Futur. Especially after this last week of straight shaving...my Shave this morning was SO FAST! And blood free!

    We'll see about my Rolls, though, when it gets here.

    I'm going the other direction atm, since I'm buying a DE, but I'm not giving up on straights, too much fun! :D

    Yeah, the other day I tried to shave with a DE for the first time in over a year. I couldn't do it. I felt like an idiot. I put it down and picked up a trusty Str8. That's that.

    I don't even own DEs anymore. I'm all straights, all the time. :cool:

    After today's shave the DE seems more appropriate than ever, my Dovo was a bit blunt, and the Shumate still needs honing, so I had to shave with the Dovo, which resulted in some pretty razorburn, but also BBS face... :)
