I was really hoping to find somebody who uses a straight razor--Conquistador I don't know why I thought you might. Even my barber uses a fake straight razor. It looks like a straight razor but instead of a permanent blade, it has a slotted bar that a disposable razor blade is inserted into.
I am almost done doing my online shopping and putting together a kit. I decided to start with the newbie equipment and work up from there if I liked the performance and planned to stay with it.
