JG, you could buy a straight razor. Buy one good and itīs all you need.
That's like saying buy one good knife and that's all you need. Razor collecting is fun. So far I've kept myself to 4 straights. Shaving with them is fun, I liken it to learning to drive manual, but with more blood.
Still fighting to not buy any hones.
I try to stay clean-shaven. Could not grow a decent beard if I tried.
