I agree I use a cut throat razor to shave,I have four, a modern crap one and three vintage ones from the late 1800's early 1900's, you need more then one as the edge is so fine that the hair actually causes the edge to fold when used. You have to let a straight razor rest 24 hours between use or when you strop it you snap the edge off (all at a microscopic level mind you) One was made in 1896 the others 1901 and 1913 and they still have a hundred or more years left in them. 

These 6 blade face maulers last 2 maybe 3 shaves and in the bin it goes, and you cant wipe the lather and hair off a cartridge razor with a hand towel like I do with the straight razor so I use about 500ml of water to have a shave. Also my bread knife and carving knife are also vintage carbon steel knives made in the 1800's the bread knife is stamped with the date 1883, like the razor they have heaps of life and if you look after them with a wipe of oil after use and not leaving them sit after cutting tomatoes (they rust in about 15 minutes then) but I also use the CLI as much as the GUI so I must be anachronistic :)
