Straight Razor Shaving

[supn9]

Would like to know if anyone here straight razor shaves? What kind of razors do you use? Do you have a collection?

Extensive collection of 1 razor

I retired my straight razors to shadow boxes on the wall when I realised that technology far outreached esthetics . Don't need near so much tp with modern razors .
Advice to the youngsters :
Be very certain of your relationship with your 'Gal Friday' before you ask her to shave you with a
'cut throat' razor

Have used a couple I have in the past. May go back to them because I feel like I'm getting raped every time I buy new blades

Strop well every three or four strokes and keep your hand steady . Bear in mind that you can recover from rape more quickly than being skinned alive .

A very poor and incorrect choice of word here.
"Ripped off" is better fit.
