Absolutely..I think they were originally used by barbers as a sort of 'tidy up' tool?
You just watch too many movies mate...Ah, ok. I wasn't aware of that. Anyway, I'm getting rid of it: My Merkur Futur is as wild as I want to go. I've read views that the Futur with a feather blade and cranked wide open is as efficient as a straight razor. Never tried a straight for a direct comparison, but it just looks f*cking dangerous to meI have visions of the barber shops in the mafia films, and the blood spraying up the walls, and think: that could be me. I know, I know, I'm being a big girls blouse....
