I use a straight razor, and have for a few years now. I love it! I only shave a few times a week, max, and it is nicer than a disposable because it doesnt clog up with longer hair.
They are a LOT of work though. I have the strope, bowl, badger hair brush, stand for the brush and 4 wetstones. My blade is of stainless steel German manufacture. I only really sharpen it when I droped (twice now) it. I will never go back to disposable, it isnt as good of a shave and the electric types always pulled the hair too much.
The worst part about it is trying to find high glycerin soap for shaving with, but a bar will last me over a year so it isnt that bad. I should point out that my blade was over $100.

Not many people have the balls to hold a 4" RAZOR blade to their neck to shave
