Last night I shaved my legs (I'm a female) with my straight razor for the first time and it went wonderfully! Nicked myself a few times but other than that it went better than I thought it would. Definitely hooked.

Thanks for all the help guys

Now I'm trying to convince a friend to let me shave his beard with a straight, though I should probably practice more to get the technique down before I start putting a straight to someone's neck.
