A double edge, or a classic Schick injector are far better for daily use than a cutthroat. You still need to pay to get them sharpened at least 1-2 times per year by a pro, the strop is only to hone, just like a steel is used for a kitchen knife. Certainly fun as an occasional tool, but take it from me, Im pretty handy with one, but if youre the least bit tired or undisciplined, youll cut the sh*t out of yourself. I have.
