I've been using Windows 7 on my work laptop since last month. It seems pretty solid, and I have no trouble finding my drivers. There are nice touches in the user interface, but it is a bit too busy. I like the interface to get out of the way and let me do my work, and it almost achieves that, but no...

I think the conventional wisdom is backwards - you should start with straights and go to DE (should you so desire) after straights because I'm much better with DE now than I was (but I'm drooling to get back to my straights). Absolutely how I feel. I switched from cartridges about three years ago, ...

The coffee pot. My daily workhorse is the Norelco Express, makes me 4 cups, which I enjoy every morning. The big one for when we have a large dinner for the family used to be the 12 cup Norelco, which still works just fine, but now we have the Bunn. I've loved my coffee since I started drinking it ...

Off the wagon
I've been shaving with a straight exclusively for about four months now, but this past weekend I went away, and rather than take my straight with me, I brought my Merkur HD along for the ride. I have to say I really wanted the straight razor to work for me, but the DE shave was so effortless and smo...

There are adherents to both camps. I personally prefer to go the way of the brute force. You will have some rough days, rough patches here and there, and red skin on bad days. But like it or not, you will learn faster. Nothing makes you hone up your skills more than the threat of razor burn. Count ...

From this first impression, I feel that it is highly unlikely that a straight will become my daily razor, but it's early days, and I'll keep trying. Ian Having never shaved with a straight myself, I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think you need to have some commitment to it if you want to ha...
