That is somewhat classed as a somehwat acceptable travel substiitute, or a "finishing" razor to someone new to straight razors, like myself!!!![]()
However, I will finish off with an old Gillette when I do use my Dovo straight. I ain't got the balls yet to go against the grain anywhere near a major artery.
Once I saw what those Mach III blades cost, I swore I'd never buy another one again.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
I've never considered a straight razor.
btw, if you think mach 3's cost alot. I have this 5 plus 1 bladed number and a 4 pack of blades is 13 bucks.
So where did you get the straight razor?
Holy crap those things are expense, a couple of hundred bucks for the kit, screw it, I'll stick with my 3 dollar disposible blades. I have enough expensive hobbies.
I know Dude. I was looking at those things after I saw the price on the Mach IIIs.
I got the Straight at a shop in Detroit. I could have gotten it cheaper on-line, but for my first one, I wanted to get something I know would feel nice in my hands.
I used to get 2 weeks out of 3 blades, sometimes I'd go through 2 blades a week. That's ~ $6-7 a week, X 52 weeks = > $300. So far, I have in the vicinity of $250 invested in razors and parts 'n pieces, a good brush, a few soaps and stuff. I have more coming, but these will do me for life with a few $ in DE blades once a year.
Also, there is absolutely no comparison to how my face feels now after a shave.
EDIT:
If you want to get really fancy, it would be easy to spend $1500 on a razor and $500 on a brush.
Dan, sorry for the threadjack there dude.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
I am a brush and mug shaver myself no straight razor tho![]()
My enjoyment of CS has declined drastically over the last few months. All because of drama. I stay out of drama because if it doesn't involve me i don't want to be in it.
really like most member here but their are some who are to quick to chew out someone for simply mistakes Thats why I post so little here
I just wish I could grow a decent beard. Fugg. No sideburns- just fuzz and the spot where the beard meets the stache on the left side is challenged. I can basically grow an incomplete dirtstache![]()
