There is a reason why people don't use them any more, I suspect.
I think you may have found out what that reason is.

It looks so easy on the youtube videos.
The bits I got right feel great, a really close shave, but it's the fiddly bits where I feel like I've tried to peel my face that are a little annoying.

I think an actual straight razor is supposed to be a bit easier, but you have to sharpen and hone and strop the blade and all sorts and I can't be bothered with that.

I'll give it another few goes and see how it works out.

Don't worry, I'll keep you updated.

Oh I thought that's what you'd bought.

Nah, it's the one where you break a razor blade in half and put it in the holder
like they use at the barbers.

You might not get this reference as you only use trendy hoxton "hair consultants"

I cut my own hair and haven't had a shave for about 6 years

is it that al is, in fact, more of a bent spastic than nakers?
i think this might be the reason

Look you syphilitic whore.
There's a lot of stuff I'll let go on here, I know what sort of a site it is after all, but inferring that I am even in the same ballpark a bent spastic as nakers is just not on.

Coming from a bent spastic I don't care what you think.
