My oldest boy and I mainly do the back of the neck of the other on a bi-weekly basis. Not much else do I do with it. I love my DEs.

This is what I started out with. The new razor will not be shave ready, and will require honing to make it shave ready. I have since moved on to this, because it requires no honing, no stropping, and will not rust. Yes it is not a "true" straight, but it shaves just a good, but is much less forgiving. The blades are wicked sharp.
