Anybody here uses straight razor (ustara) for shaving?

[GORKHALI]

Just on a lighter note...

I use straight razor (in Urdu Ustara استرا) for shaving. I used to use Gillette Fusion Razor (5 Blades) but was not really satisfied with the closeness of the shave. I then switched to the straight razor. Though first few weeks were terrible for I would always get myself cut, and sometimes badly. However, now I am using the straight razor for about 5 years and it feels great. Looks like straight razors are available from as cheap as US$5 to as expensive as US$500 and above.

Just use Gillette Clear Shave Gel with Gillette Blue 2

The best combo

It shaves very clean but not without after shave irrigation especially in summers.

In my opinion, these 3 or 5-blade razors or good so long you are shaving everyday. They are not as good for a couple of days old shave.

I shave my beard once a week, 3 blades are still better than straight razor.

For the 6-7 years of puberty, I haven't used any razor or blade on my face not even for once. Shouldn't be a record?
