Shaving with a straight razor strikes a lot of guys as, well, terrifying. Which kind of makes sense, considering the other popular name for the device is "cutthroat razor." But it's not actually as scary as all that, and though you might want to keep a styptic pen or some tissues around on the first couple of tries, once you get the hang of the technique, you'll find yourself getting a close shave with minimal irritation. Plus, you know, it looks cool. Whether you're in the market for a true straight-edge razor or a shavette, which subs in replaceable razor blades to eliminate maintenance while keeping the straight-razor feel, we've rounded up the best ones to buy right now.
