Daaaang..... I dont think I could find that much time in a day to shave. I guess it depends on the beard. I need about 4-5 minutes with an electrical shaver, so the actual shaving time is not all that different for me. I was curious myself, so I clocked it a few times. Besides, a good thing doesn't...

I heard that turkish barbers can shave so close that the first stubbles will show after more than a day. They probably intimidate the hairs. :D I believe it. When I shave with a straight razor, the first stubbles will show at least half a day later than otherwise. It is because good soap will open ...

No electric shaver will ever approach even remotely the closeness you get from a straight razor. The difference is vast. I use an electric shaver during the work week because it is fast and easy. I can do it while still half asleep, but in terms of performance it doesn't compare. So on the weekend I...

Not claiming to be an expert but I get my ZDP-189 Caly sharper than any other stainless steel knife. I use, however, waterstones. My experience with ZDP is, that it burrs very little, so you don't have to worry about that much. This is why I very much doubt that you have a wire edge giving you probl...

The following is purely my own humble opinion and I don't want to start a flame war: To compare any frame lock, especially the Strider that I have seen, against a knife like the RAO seems to me like a bad joke. My conservative estimate is that the lock on the RAO (without the addtional pin) is easil...

A lot of people are usually disappointed to hear this, and some simply won't accept it, but I couldn't name a single frame lock that is as strong as one of the stronger lockbacks. In principle, the question is useless as you can engineer any lock to be the strongest lock. You simple take a certain l...
