Thanks to RIK I received a scary sharp str8 a while back but am just now getting to use it. I have no idea what it would feel like to have a gun to my head while attempting to shave but this has to be close I have never been more scared in my life. After doing only half my face and only in a N to S direction I put it down and finished with my merkur trac. Im not even sure how to go about a S to N pass with out taking my throat with it.
