I dont know if straight razors are for me??

I thought it wasn't for me either. Stopped trying for about 6 months and then picked it back up. Thought the same thing and put it away. Few months later tried it again, same thing. Figured I'd try it again and stick to it. After about 3 weeks of using nothing else I was beginning to get the hang of it. Now I'm pretty confident using one. I still use my DE when I'm in a running late for work though.

This is off the subject, but how do you post part of something someone else posted?

Michael, in someone’s post you will see six black boxes in the lower right.  First, tap the box that says Quote and then tap the box that says Reply.  That will bring up the post in a way that will allow you to answer with the post in your reply.  Just make sure you type your reply after this: [/quote].  To finish, press the blue Post Reply button and that’s it.  

If you only want to use part of a person’s quote, follow the directions above but cut the part you don’t want before typing your answer.  You will notice that in my response here, I cut out your sentence, “I don’t know how to do that.”

I hope this helps.  If not, let us know and we’ll do our best to help.

I actually learned to use a str8 from my dad and our local barber when I was pretty young. Then went to a safety. Life got moving pretty fast so I used electric for years and went back to a safety after I slowed down. (hands just not steady enough for a str8).

Str8 is also a bit of a PITA for me. JMHO.
