Thread: Well, managed it a lot quicker than expected.

Ive only had 5 goes with my straight and the last 2 times have been just using my straight for a full face shave. Quite impressed myself.

Unfortunately I can only shave about once a week as I get severe irritation so my shaves have been at least a week apart.
I am enjoying using my razor though and it does make me sweat while I'm using it as the fear/respect is certainly still there.

My advice to new users is to respect the blade and take your time. It seems to have worked for me.
