Buying a Straight Razor

[Venganza]

I've been looking into straight razors as well. I feel like gilette is fucking me in the ass every time I buy a pack of their razors. It leaves me raw. I haven't made a purchase yet but I'm certainly going to give it a try. Usually I just leave a day or two of growth on and go for the rugged look but every once in a while I feel the need to shave for a few months to switch it up.

Here's something i use that extends the shit out of the life of my razors. They don't dull because of use, they corrode due to moisture sitting on them.
Dry em after every use. It sounds stupid but the water causes em to go dull sooner, if you keep em dry those razor's will last weeks and weeks longer. Local cheapskate Clark Howard did a test on it and made a disposable pink razor last a year.
