        Once you get the trick you'll never go back.  Nothing shaves
as well in terms of comfort and closeness, it's cheap because youre
only consumable is soap, and it doesn't take any longer than a safety
razor.

I have read this thread with fascination for some reason. I don't
think I ever saw my Dad using one of those, I know what they are
though. That sounds like something perfect for me because I have a
close cut beard and mustache. I use the electric razor set on the "one
level" for my beard and mustache. But I always have to shave my cheek
- close to the eye area and then underneath where I stop my beard on
the kneck area.

Those Mach 3 blades I use are pretty expensive and don't give me a
real close shave. I've never seen those straight razors in the store
where I go, I take it they still sell them though, correct? How much
do they cost?
