I am courious about % of men who use Straight Razors,I would think it would be very small select group.Yet modern straight razors are still produced so there is a demand.
I was wondering because since using DE blades,find they are ready avalible fr. many diff. countries.I am amazed how cheap they are when you buy in bulk.Do more people in third world countries still use DE blades?

I love looking at them, Magnus! I'd post, but 50% of the time it's be in bad taste, and the other times it would be the exact same two razors and either my Harner, or a Gillette Adjustable with Proraso or Cade.
