LAGLE:

D.A.L.U.I.:
Sir Harry:
I have a straight razor that I purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply a while back (they sell replacement blades in boxes of five) when I was home on leave from deployment. They cut well, but you have to be careful. I would treat them as if I were shaving with a double edge razor. The angle is critical; one bad cut and you will be gushing blood like Old Faithful. I haven't mastered cutting behind the ears yet (use a disposable for those areas) but as weird as it sounds, it's easier to use a straight razor on someone else than it is on yourself. (I still wonder why) :/O

I'm going to Sally's and check out their blades...this looks like fun.
