I have been a member for a little while, and been a lurker of the forums for even longer. I started wet shaving with a DE about 5+ years ago. Until recently, it was just a way to get a decent shave without the irritation that carts gave me. It wasn't until last year that I started taking an interest in getting that BBS shave, and within a month I was starting to think about using a straight. Well, I would find some reason to talk myself out of taking the plunge. I would normally convince myself that it was too much work.
Then recently I discovered the Feather AC. So I thought, now I can try straight shaving without the time investment. So I bought the Feather AC, and have been using it all week. All that did was make me want to try a real straight that much more. Well, after spending more time on reading these forums this week, than I did working. I bought a razor from Larry at WhippedDog. So now I am waiting for my first real straight, and one of his strop kits. Larry was great about answering my questions. I bought a 4/8 Harley, and I can't wait to get it.
