[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 266035, member: 2244"] Tried a straight razor a couple of times but went back to my DE Gillette razor I've had since I was in 'Nam. Still use the red badger brush and shaving soap as well. Back when I was married to my first wife, pre aids, I used to go down to the Baker Hotel barbershop in downtown Dallas on Saturdays and get a hot shave from the barber there. It was the hieght of luxury to get those steaming hot towels wrapped around your face, then the barber would lather up and use his straight razor for the smoothest shave I've ever had!! I don't know of any shops here in Dallas/Ft.Worth that still offer that. I miss it and if you get a chance to find a BARBER who still does 'em, get in the chair and enjoy :P :P [/QUOTE]
