[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just survived my first straight razor shave

Posted: 9/19/2016 6:43:18 PM EDT

Used a 6/8 Gold Dollar that was beveled on a Atoma diamond hone followed by a Chosera 1K, Shapton pro 5k, and finished on a vintage coticule. Hoooly shit this thing is sharp and smooth. No nicks, can't wait to do it again

Nice.

I'll move this to the shaving forum, where you will find many others who share the sentiment.

I'm the opposite.

I started my quest on straight edge blades, paid the price, and loved it.

Went to a DE, and now my two straight razors are for special occasions and neck trimming.

Straight razors are great. But DE is the perfect balance for me.
