I've been tossing the idea of buying a straight razor for more than a year now. I love the old school cool element to a SR shave, and the gear is awesome. But I just can't shake the feeling that the maintenance, risk of poor stropping killing the edge, etc, would render it more of a hassle than I want to deal with. Oh, and I LOVE the BBS shaves I routinely get with my DEs. How many of you went into SR shaving only to find it not worthwhile after a bit?
EDIT And I might not have worded the title very well. "Regret" might be a bit strong, but you see my point.
