I've been straight razor shaving for over 50 years but had to have surgery on my right hand last week. This has forced me to use a double edged razor with my left hand and I hate it. Shaving with a straight not only gives the best shave but requires a skill that has to be developed over time. Never underestimate the pleasure and satisfaction we get from such a simple routine.

Ask me about shaving naked!
Heal up fast!
For decades during my working days, I used a Bic metal, and still do to shave my neck in the back. You can do worse, but as you know, you can also do a lot better.

I agree, DE shaving is to straight what cartridge is to DE.
There’s just such a gulf.
Straight razor shaving is the mildest, kindest, closest, most perfect shaving system known to man.
If I ever have to shave with a DE it just reminds me how good straight shaving is.
Hope you get well soon.

Prayers for a quick complete recovery.
I've shaved with straights for the past five years and just for the heck of it, shaved with a DE for the month of October. I will be back with my straights tomorrow. I really missed the comfort and am looking forward to the pleasure. Hope you have a quick recovery and I'm sure your razors have missed you as much as you have missed them.
Same here. I tried shaving the hair on my ear with a straight once and was simply astounded at how much blood could flow from such a small cut.
