Anybody shave with a straight razor?

[jbib]

The difference in face feel from the different stones surprised me.

The translucent Arkansas is my favorite and feels noticeably sharper and smoother to me than other stones.

Synthetic waterstones are easy to use and fast, but the edges definitely feel harsh.

Coticules edges feel smooth, but not sharp feeling to me at all.

Never went down the JNat rabbit hole.

Razorock soaps are my favorites.

Safety razors scare me, yet a straight razor is totally comfortable to me. Makes no sense, but is the result of life’s journey I guess.

I have often wanted to try Razorock!

I just picked up a new one. It needs a cleaning and sharpening but it's a nice one.
