Simply, yes.I fancy that a straight and a strop should reduce future expenditure to near zero, but I gather once you've broken your duck and bought a straight, you've just found a new rabbit hole to fall into....
I have intel that Royal Mail is currently 2 days behind for most parcels.I Posted that Solingen Last Thursday..I Guess the Christmas Post is Holding it Up..I Reckon it Takes around 30 Shaves to Achieve a Basic Confidence with an SR..The 1st 20 Shaves or So are Probably the Most Challenging..It Probably Takes a 100 Shaves or So for a Straight Razor Shave to Feel Natural..
Once an SR Shave Feels Natural then it Could be Said..One has Mastered a Straight Razor..

Repetition leads to mastery.
At one stage every gentleman and gentleman soldier had a straight, brush, soap and that is all.
Commit and you'll be grand and helping the world at the same time.
You can't go wrong with one of Billy's edges they are spot on!
Also for the craic try cold shaving.
I am a committed cold shaver. I haven't cut myself once with cold water.
This.Once you've learned to shave with a straight everything else is just so underwhelming.
You really get to know your face when you use a straight so it will naturally transfer to any razor afterwards. Just my theory!This.
I just sold three DEs, I'm keeping two; one for emergencies at home and one in my travel kit. Not sure if this is a universal thing but I find the SR had improved my DE shaving too. Don't quite understand how but it has.
From my recent experience, over the last few months or so:Observations as follows:
But a good shave! Yes?After about 100 outings the daily straight razor shave for me felt natural, it was just a shave, like 100 years ago when a straight razor was the norm, no thrill, no bravado, no wow, it was just a shave
