Straight Edge Shaving

Straight Edge shaving. Ever heard of it? Using basically a knife to shave. Sharpen it on a leather strop before every shave, and once a year hone it on a stone(or get it honed). There is a few great things about changing over to this system. One is you no longer are buying disposable razor blades. Not only will you save money, and stick it to those big corporations like Gillette, but you'll save a ton of landfill space! One has to wonder why Gillette doesn't offer a straight edge. They keep their stocks going up year after year by coming up with new products. 2 blades, 3 blades, 4 blades, vibrating and 5 blades, soon we'll have led lights added to the mix... And if they ever stop coming out with new designs and ideas their stock will stop rising, and may start falling. They rely on your use of disposable blades. And we have been shaving with knives for thousands of years, why have we stopped? It is the best shave I have ever had!
