This is honestly how I felt about shaving with a straight razor. Everyone I spoke to about it was like &quot;you&#x27;re crazy! you&#x27;ll cut yourself. At the very least use a safety razor to warm up to something like that.&quot; I had a gift card to Art of Shaving, and bought a shavette.<p>Two weeks in, I haven&#x27;t cut myself once, and I shave faster and better than I ever have.
