Get that baby honed by a pro and stay aware of where the point is as you shave. Some say round point to start, others say no difference. Major thing I have learned in shaving with a straight is that, regardless of point or round, you have to concentrate on where the razor is on your face and the amount of pressure you are using. Read the wikis, watch the vids, find a mentor in your area for one-on-one and know it is baby steps before running the mile.
