I don’t use a straight razor myself, though I admire them. My grandfather always used a straight razor, and the strop as an instrument of discipline for the boys (my uncles). And there’s a family story about the rage that consumed my grandfather when he discovered that his brand-new—brand-new—straight razor to sharpen a pencil!! Whenever he told the story he would become enraged anew and look to punish again my uncle Earl. Tough times.
Okay, to the point: I got an email from these people the other day, and after taking a look, it does look pretty inviting if you want to try. I have a familial tremor that makes them for me purely an aesthetic pleasure: no shaving.
