Sorry for digging up an old topic guys, but I was going to post one just like this, so thought I may aswell just post in this one.
I use a straight razor myself and it's the best shave I've ever had. I only have to shave once every 2-3 days because it shaves so close, and once you learn how to handle it properly you tend to not have trouble with cuts.
Just the best, most refreshing feeling shave ever (so far... Not tried the head yet!).
