Yes, I think it was a foregone conclusion for both of us after the first 100 shaves. If you enjoy developing shaving technique, how can you not be a straight razor shaver. In early October, after using a straight everyday for August and September, I realized how awkward it now feels to use a DE or SE.
Anyway, congrats on your anniversary of a year’s worth of straight shaving.
Edit: I think the Parker 510 is great. Swedish steel tempered and shaped by Japanese craftsmen. After I get the heavy hitters (Iwasaki, Tanifuji, Yukio) in my collection, I’ll try to figure out where the value makers are for Japanese razors. Craftsmanship on these is very high and they shave very well; as you might expect.
