just curious?
I'm pondering making the switch. it seems like an expensive investment but pay's itself off not having to buy disposables.
I switched from canned shave cream to a shave soap and brush and have found that I can now shave daily without ingrown hairs.  
I still like a few days growth between shaves though.

Some days, I use a 1940s a Gillette safety razor.
Either way I use only Derby Extra blades.
No matter how reputable the shop that got them shave ready, I haven't been able to get a comfortable shave with my vintage straight razors.

| | | | I use an electric razor. When my peach fuzz gets too fuzzy, I use a disposible razor.
Sweeney Todd, the musical, was enough to scare me away from using a straight razor.

I hated shaving with disposables, but quite enjoy the old-school process of shaving now.

| | | | I bought one when I was 17. I got a nice shave that seemed to stay smoothe for about 2 days. But the razor was made in Pakistan and I couldn't keep it honed. I'm going to make the switch, but not yet. I'm thinking I'll save some money for the whole kit and change over in a few months.
