[QUOTE="Al in Canada, post: 63050, member: 683"] "Seriously,is it much easier to cut yourself with one:?: Best, Dock" Dock, as long as you don't try to level out any warts or moles with the blade, or allow it to move or slide sideways on your face it is generally not a problem cutting yourself. The hot towel suggestion and a good lathering generally will set the whiskers up for the blade, just draw the razor straight down your cheek (and generally up to the jaw on the throat). Compared to a straight razon it is a piece of cake, compared to todays multi-blade, lubricating strip, etc. razors a "leetle more care" is needed. Just don't use it like a hoe. Happy shaving, Al (in Canada) Question: is it really considered different to wet shave? I have done so with a brief flirtation with an electric razor until it irritated my skin, for the past 40+ years. (Yes I have used double edge and single edge safety razors, played around with straight edge for the experience, but normally now days use either an Actra or Trac II razor. Guess I'll have to look around for the straight edges and the old double edges (should be an adjustable and and a screw on soemwhere). [/QUOTE]
