nice close-up!

i'll often cleanup after straight with a DE.
it's like cutting grass in a field with a big mower and then doing the edges with a trimmer.
at least, that's how i rationalize, but delivers great shave.

Thanks!
My technique is getting better, but I foresee myself using a DE after a straight for a while yet. I really want to learn to use a straight exclusively though.
