My granddad was a barber and i inherited his straight razors. Some of them are very old and in excellent condition. I've never tried it though. I don't have a fast growing beard though.

Brad, I gotta see what you call a beard. LOL

gillette fusion 5 blade

I just got one of those in the mail the other day. I didn't even sign up for it. They work great, but I can't justify the price of those blades.

But, I have been wanting to try this place. Its worth just watching the promo video.

I've been shaving with a straight razor for 13yrs now. You get the hang of it rather quickly, a few nicks to the cheek/throat makes sure you do. My old barber got me into it when I lived in DFW and I've never gone back to a regular disposable. It can get pricey REALLY quick if you let it. Some Ivory handled razors, cremes, lathers, holders. I tend to go to The Art of Shaving store here in Atlanta, and have to force myself to walk out empy handed.

Go all in, you don't need a safety razor CJ.

I didn't think Pollocks could grow facial hair?

Where do you get a decent safety razor locally?

Check out Blade Forums, this is a sub forum for straight razors and whatnot.

I get everything through The Art of Shaving.

They have a store in the Galleria and North Park in Dallas.

I'd like to. Had a straight razor shave in China on my wedding day, and it was the closest, smoothest shave I've ever had. Didn't have to shave again for a week...

I tell ya, though, there's nothing more nerve-racking than being 11,000 miles away from home with some crazy looking Chinese broad holding a straight razor to your face and not being able to speak a god damned word of the native language to her.

lol

How much of a badass does shaving make you feel with one of those? Also, do you have any brands you can recommend? I was looking at Dovo, but damn that's a lot of initial cost, looks like they start around $180.

I started shaving pre-disposable razors, and I would damn near need a blood transfusion after getting done with the safety razor. I'll pass.

What the fuck are you doing when you shave man? Let the weight of the razor and the sharpness of the blade do the work for you.

I use a single blade disposable razor once or twice a week, it shaves the fur off my face and that's all I need it to do. This straight razor stuff sounds like it's over hyped.
