How many of y'all use a straight razor? I've been a convert for about six months and I'm more then pleased with the results.
It started as a curiosity-I went to an old fashioned barber for the works, and really enjoyed it. I also got something completely unexpected- completely clear skin. I've had shitty acne since I was about fifteen and after trying everything under the sun, all it took was a change in shaving tools.
Although the initial investment is decent sized, I figured out it would pay for itself in replacement blades for the 5 bladed thing I used before in about 16 months.
It's also a much more satisfying experience, I genuinely look forward to shaving now. The learning curve for me was short, after about 6 shaves I wasn't cutting myself anymore, and have gotten quite handy with the blade.
Anyone else using the old cut throat?
