[Los Feliz Slim]

BretWeir,

I haven't tried the full-on straight razor because I don't have the steadiest of hands and don't want to die.

kurosh,

If speed is a priority, wet shaving isn't for you. Part of the appeal for me is the ritual aspect of filling up the sink with hot water, soaking the brush, applying the lather, etc etc etc. I'm always in a rush, and taking 10 minutes to pamper myself and have an excellent shave is a great break.
