I have used a straight on, and off for the last 6 months. For the first 2-3 months I used the straight everyday.
Every time I inflicts cuts to my face (that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten with a DE/SE/Injector) I wonder if the whole straight adventure is worth it. I have also given myself a couple of permanent scars I otherwise wouldn't have gotten.
Honestly, for me at my current skill level, the straight is pretty inferior to the results I can get with a DE/SE/Injector. I get vastly more cuts, and irritation (especially on my neck) from using a straight.
I am giving serious thought today to selling off all of my straights except for my Kai Captain Excelia. I can get a better quality, and more consistent shave with the Kai Captain than I can with any of my actual straights.
