2008-02-28 08:12:43 Ask any good barber. Still use in many countries, including Africa, where straight razor is used shave not only the face, but also the head. —198.54.202.182
Africa is not a country, it is a continent. Regardless, obsolete does not mean "not in use". Please read the several replies that have been made to your recent anonymous edits. A straight razor was the common standard and current technology, and is no longer considered such. Please read through the wiki and understand the term obsolete as used here before commenting about rare and/or regional use. Also, if you believe that the standards for the wiki in general should be more limited, feel free to discuss it at What is obsolete. Of course, since reenactment and survival enthusiasts use virtually all past tools and skills, nothing is obsolete if use is the criteria.
